Original compositions, performed by Kevin on his hand-made pan flutes, plus one Sting song.
1) BLUE MORPHO: Inspired by a journey to the Amazon to meet a shaman and by the shimmering butterfly of that name.
See the video and hear the whole tune here Blue Morpho video
2) THE MAYQUEEN: Queen Guinevere rides ‘a-maying’ into the woods, heralded here by a bouzouki and gentle recorder.
3) DEEP BREATH: The haunting title melody has traditional pan flute phrases and influences of gypsy, classical, and tango.
4) CASCADE : A gorgeous slow waltz suggesting waterscapes, longing and mystery. It opens and ends with a pan flute fanfare.
5) FIELDS OF GOLD: The great familiar song by artist Sting, in an instrumental version, with pan pipes instead of bagpipes.
6) TEN-TATION : A very catchy Balkan-influenced jazz piece in 10/8 rhythm. Reminiscent of Dave Brubeck.
7) OCTAVIA: An unusual eight-bar chord pattern moves this piece along, with a variety of melody lines riding happily above.
8) DOINA & HORA OF PLANATSCH: This tune follows the folk structure of a doina, (lament), followed by a hora (dance).
9) CHANSON SANS MAITRE: Written in Arosa, Switzerland, it features alto silver flute and pan flute; languid and beautiful.
10) POIANA "The Glade" (in Romanian) an energetic tune with nice motion that suggests a magical place of rest and discovery.
11) STARS THAT RISE: A whistled welcome begins this lullaby. "Stars that rise, stars that fall, one night you may see them all."
12) HILLSIDE: The dramatic melody extends over a wide range from high to low, drawing one down a hillside and up again.
13) THIS WAY FRIENDS: This song recalls a greeting ritual, as when friends, in a dream, welcome us warmly into their midst.
