Walking in his neighborhood, David needed one more piece to complete his upcoming CD. He asked for something special, something worthy of a title track.  Walking in Paradise is that piece. Recorded on a first take, both the violin and the piano part, it has become a signature piece for his concerts.

Walking In Paradise

What does doing Tai' Chi Gung feel like?  This piece comes close to sharing that.  It has a timeless quality about it.  Strength and tenderness, compassion, reverence.  This piece is included on Mr. Paul's CD, "Innocence".

The Enlightened One

Tai' Chi Gung develops patience.  For example, David shares music with over 250 pre-school children a week in "Mr. David's Music Class".  This piano piece is a character sketch in sound of a student that made a particularly lasting impression.  It is one of 12 on his CD "Cherish". 

Rebecca

Forest Walk is a piece for violin and piano inspired by nature photography.  In his concerts, David selects from over 24 videos created in this way.  Samples play free on his homepage at  www.musicbydavidpaul.com 

Forest Walk

Inspired by the photography of Kirsten Mumford (www.kirstenmumford.zenfolio.com) this dramatic piece for violin and piano captures the surf coming ashore in the Dominican Republic. It is one of 24 videos featured by David Paul in his live concerts.  It can be found on his 6th CD: "Sound Currents" available at Amazon.com 

The Sea

A child like joy is infused into this piece for violin and piano.  With each new day, a new optimism can be drawn forth, just as each passing night gives way to the light of dawn.  "Sunrise" is available on a CD by David Paul with that title at Amazon.com

Sunrise

David Paul is one of Master Lama Rasaji's early students.  It is generally the case that a serious Tai' Chi Gung student practices 25-30 years before being granted the title of Master.  Master Paul is the only certified Tai' Chi Gung Master of this order currently living in the United States.  He has been teaching for more than 20 years. David has an extensive academic back ground. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from St. Olaf College and received a Masters Degree from Rice University. He began his work life as a symphony violinist.  It was shortly after beginning a professional music career that he met Master Lama Rasaji, so he has been practicing Tai' Chi Gung his entire adult life. Every Tai' Chi Gung Master is asked to contribute something positive to humanity based on their life's passion and their Tai Chi Gung training.  Master David has focused on music and Tai' Chi Gung.  He plays original music from the Tao. Following neither notes nor chords, he plays directly from the present.  All 6 of his CDs are first take recordings of music played this way.  Learn more at www.MusicByDavidPaul.com  He has also developed a music teaching method that honors both right and left brained students.  It is the first significant advance in music pedagogy in more than 100 years. www.MusicWithDavidPaul.com
