    Hi Stanton. I was surprised to find my comment from 5 years ago! Just learning this piece now to play in church next Sunday. "Thirsty for rain". In a non-religious context, how appropriate in this era of climate change and global warming. Love the drone footage. The song perfectly fits the location somehow.

    Are you pretty much using sustain pedal through most of it? It's listed as such in the music. You really came upon something here with that left hand crossover and how it, as you say, creates a rippling effect. Just astounding, really. The combined sonorities are so full and rich. Like so much of your music, it just carries me away to a different place, besides the spiritual component.

    • @StantonLanier
      @StantonLanier 6 месяцев назад

      Hi @KSguitarmusic, thanks so much. I would describe the sustain pedal as generously used, and held down for several measures where the arpeggiated left hand chords are consistent for a stretch and can ring together. There are plenty of times when the sustain pedal is lifted and then held back down, as I was just feeling the sounds of the chords and melodies symbolizing the ocean. Wishing you God's grace and peace, Stanton

    Thank you for your wonderful, soul-nourishing music. I discovered it on DirecTV's New Age and Soundscapes music channels (where my favs include Karen Marie Garrett, Kevin Kern, and Kathryn Kaye). But a great additional blessing for me is that you draw your inspiration from a deep well of Christian spirituality. In the Open Spaces video, you look disconcertingly like Arthur C. Clarke. I loved his science fiction and he was a huge influence on me when I was young. Fortunately one other English writer was an even greater influence: C.S. Lewis. Anyway, thank you for your blessed music.

    • @StantonLanier
      @StantonLanier 10 месяцев назад

      Dear @MarkdotBirdwolf, you are welcome, and I am grateful my music is such a blessing to you. I wasn't aware of this resemblance, but I have been very inspired by C.S. Lewis as well. The Lord inspired me to compose Scripture inspired piano and instrumental music twenty-three years ago. My very first composition was titled "Grace and Truth" from John 1:14, and now there are about 170 works. "Open Spaces" is special to me because the music is expressing the wonder and adventure of walking with God found in Psalm 119:45, "And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom..." Wishing you God's grace, peace, and joy today! - Stanton

    Thanks be to God the Almighty Father for your gift, it is so beautifully uplifting, I learned piano as a young man but sadly gave it up, now i feel like playing again.

    Only 12 comments? For this majestic piece? The horn part in this is just terrific and so compliments the music. Love when it really gets going around 3:00.

      Thank you Keith, yes, I love this piece too! The French horn piano duet was to symbolize the whales singing with the ocean waves rippling. Blessings to you! Stanton

    Hi Stanton, Renée here from Australia. I LOVE this explanation of your piece Awaken the dawn. You played my video at your Atlanta concert many years ago. I'm so grateful I now fully understand the piece. Thank you 🙏 for explaining it so eloquently! Hope you're well. God bless 🙏

      Hi Renee, thank you so much for watching and listening as I shared why and how I composed "Awaken the Dawn," along with other pieces in this video series. I'm so glad you are still enjoying! This song is one of my all-time favorites too. God's blessings to you! - Stanton
