Details:
Hello to all. I greet you as a composer, recording artist, teacher, and performer. My music has found an audience throughout the United States and Canada, and, thanks to the Internet and distributors like CDBaby, is being sold in many other countries of the world. Who am I? From an early age I loved the outdoors. I was lucky enough to live out in the country where I could have great adventures exploring fields, woods, and streams near my home. When I was introduced to the piano, music became my other love. I played on the piano every day for hours as a child, and absorbed any classical music that my teachers could find for me to play, especially if the music had lots of passion and movement. Eventually music became my profession.
My own original music has been created because of my spiritual connection with nature, and my music education which gave me the tools I needed to play outside of myself the music that I heard inside of myself. However, it has been especially influenced by my travels into the Mayan lands of Central America and Mexico. As I walk through the rain forest of Guatemala, or the mountains of Honduras, or the plains of Mexico visiting sacred Mayan sites, my own spiritual life deepens. I compose music that captures the sacred feel for me of these lands and people, and of our Mother Earth. The Mayan Dream album was born in Mexico in 1987. The Beloved album, The Journey of Joy album, and Heart of Sky/Heart of Earth album have since been created from my continued journeys throughout the lands of the Maya.
What does my music sound like? You may hear a resemblance to Beethoven''s pastoral music, or maybe a style like Kitaro without the sweeping violins, or possibly a close relationship with some of the composers who use electronic sound to create "ohm" or electronic sounds of "energy" crackling. I play percussion instruments from various parts of the world and they are an important part of the story that my music tells. I also love to use sampled bird song, thunder, ocean waves…..all of these sounds that bring nature into my music. However, it is uniquely "Beverly" music with my own musical imprint.
The first movement of Mayan Dream is called Awakening and is the feel of the land awakening to those who walk upon it with sacred steps. Dance (second movement) begins with a flute mimicking the call of birds and then with the piano interweaving a melody in a joyous dance. Finally, Indwelling is the quiet that is at the core of human beings when they are connected with all of nature in that sacred connection. Dancers of the Flame was written when I visited the great caves (75 foot ceilings!) of Mexico and had the guidance of a Mayan shaman in those caves. You will hear electronic "ohm", crackles of energy, the sound of an ancient flute call, with rainstick, and piano.
I am grateful that I can send my music along to you via CDBaby. May it be a source and inspiration to you of joy, inner peace, and passion for life purpose.
