Laura Sullivan: Pieces of Forever
by

Laura Sullivan: Pieces of Forever

Listen to instrumental piano music from Laura Sullivan on her new album Pieces of Forever. Read a great review by Kathy Parsons at mainlypiano.com.

It has been nominated as Best New Age Album for the 2022 Grammy Awards to be held Jan 22, 2022; she previously won Best New Age Album for her album Love’s River in 2014. You can read more about the album, stories behind the songs, and her parents in the press kit available at her web site.

I also included her 2018 album A Magical Christmas, her Grammy-winning Love’s River album from 2014, and my custom playlist of her other music.

The illusion of time is our obstacle. Life is like a river. The beginning, the middle, and the end are always present, and are in all things, at every moment. We cannot understand the light, without knowing the darkness. In knowing this, may we find comfort, and rest for our sorrow.

My mother was a classically trained pianist, and my father played country guitar and harmonica. In their honor I’ve created this album, delicately intertwining classical piano with Americana ambiance.

Blue Tent Creek was written in memory of my mom reflecting memories of walks behind my parent’s property. Rest Your Sorrow in 3 movements is part of an album titled Pieces of Forever inspired by the lives of both my parents, and to honor them. Creating this has been a journey of great love for me.

We all carry moments we treasure, people in our lives that have passed on but will always be so dear us, and irreplaceable precious memories. These are all eternal. They are pieces of our forever. Please enjoy this relaxing piano guitar and cello music.
