Night Piece

I found myself in a misty landscape beside a tranquil lake. The stillness of the wind and water allowed me to find a moment of peace, despite the emotions I was feeling. I realized that it was okay to be vulnerable and open to sorrow, and that by doing so, I could let those feelings pass through me.

A few days later, I was inspired to create a short musical piece. For this recording, I decided to try something new. I used my old upright piano, which has been a faithful companion to me for many years. Although the sound is not perfect and the mechanics of the piano sometimes produce unwanted noise, I have come to appreciate the beauty of imperfection.

I believe that when we can embrace the quirks and imperfections of people and things, we are more likely to see the beauty in ourselves and accept ourselves for who we are.

REVIEWS: 

"Absolutely Stunning!"  - John Iverson - CKUW, Winnipeg

"... The production of this album is top shelf. The marvelous sound you hear, which transcends narrowly defined genre categories into music that is appropriate for a wide variety of listeners...Beautiful by a distinct cinematic nuance, Denise Young’s "Passionata" is reminiscent to the style of cinematic film music producers John Williams and Michael Nyman."    - John P. Olsen, New Age Music World 

 “Passionata is a triumph for Denise Young. Her playing has elevated itself to the highest standards and her subtlety and control of tone, mood, nuance, and tempo is something truly special.” - Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter

“Denise Young’s songs are sublimely evocative and she expresses a range of sentiment with great romanticism, both in her playing and her composition..."  - Michael Diamond, Read more at: MichaelDiamondMusic.com

“…In PASSIONATA, Denise’s love of classical music has never been more evident and this new release is ultimately a seamless marriage of classicism and her own contemporary style.   This is unquestionably her finest work to date."  - Producer Will Ackerman, Grammy Award winner and founder of  Windham Hill Records.

BIO

For pianist and composer, Denise Young, the path to becoming a professional musician seems a natural progression for this talented artist. Denise took to the piano with a natural affinity by first playing tunes by ear and began formal lessons at age five. Born in music tradition-rich St. Louis, Missouri, Denise was introduced to music through her musician father - also somewhat of a child prodigy, being self-taught on his mother’s player piano. She was also encouraged by her mother’s deep appreciation for music. As Denise recalls, “my mother often asked me to play 'Love Is a Many Splendored Thing' to lift her spirits. I believe that experiencing the positive effects of music is part of what led me further into realizing the depth of emotional expression through music.”
