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.

Listen to solo piano music by Stephan Moccio on his new album Lionheart. I also included several albums from last year with Tales of Solace and a Christmas album Winter Poems. Read the nice reviews by Kathy Parsons at mainlypiano.com for both Tales of Solace and Winter Poems.
I also included several single variations including his solo piano version of the mega-hit Wrecking Ball that he wrote for Miley Cyrus. He has collaborated with Celine Dion (“A New Day Has Come”), Sarah Brightman (“What You Never Know”), and Josh Groban (“My Heart Was Home Again”) to name only a very few, and he also composed “I Believe,” the theme of the 2010 Canadian Winter Olympics.
There are also 7 EP volumes that he releases this year, along with several other individual singles, as well as some videos. Enjoy this amazing talent!

Listen to solo piano Christmas music by Joe Bongiorno on his new album A Candlelight Christmas 2. I also included the first A Candlelight Christmas album from 2010, and created a custom playlist so you play them both together as background music during your Christmas holiday, as well as another playlist of his other music.
You can purchase full album sheet music song books in either spriral-bound printed or PDF download (which is also included with the printed versions). I have included those links below so you can learn to play them all yourself, or just download specific individual songs if you don’t want the full album.
Read the reviews by Kathy Parsons at mainly.piano.com of both the albums and their printed songbooks.
A Candlelight Christmas 2 (2021): Album and Songbook
This is fantastic (like all of Joe’s music), and will certainly get you in the holiday mood. Here are a few quotes that describe this new album.
more holiday solo piano in Joe’s peaceful, flowing, signature style including 3 tracks by his wife/pianist Amy Janelle”.
joebongiorno.com (web site)
A little more Christmas music to unwind to…” so that gives you an idea of the spirit and style of the music. Most of the pieces have flowing broken chords on the left hand rather than the more blocked chords found in hymnals and many “sing-along” books. Intended to be played as piano solos, not accompaniments, some liberty has been taken with the traditional timing of a few pieces, but all of them are very easily recognizable and the arrangements are expressive and very beautiful.
A Candlight Christmas 2 CD (on the back)
You will love these even if you don’t celebrate Christmas. Enjoy this gift.
