MP3 Jann Levinson - Jewels of Light
8 MP3 Songs
NEW AGE: Healing, CLASSICAL: New Age
Details:
Jann Levinson composes and performs original music designed to soothe the soul and touch the heart. She makes her home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where nature is her muse, and the majesty of the Grand Teton Mountains and Yellowstone National Park inspire her neoclassical works for piano and orchestral instruments. Her passion is writing in sound what sacred places like these and others evoke in her senses, her heart and her soul. Jann''s first two recordings, "Teton Seasons" (1997) and "Sunrise" (2000), are invitations to experience nature and to connect with the Earth through pictures painted with sound. Her newest release, "Jewels of Light" (2004), allows the gentle tones of a grand piano to wash over the listener''s day and revive or renew the inner chakra system.
For Jann music is love. She has known this since early childhood lying on the Oriental rug in the living room listening to her very first symphony with her Grandfather Ray. Shortly thereafter, Jann met her first muse as an elementary student using a silent wooden keyboard. She went on to study classical piano and music composition in New York City. A graduate of Bard College, she was privileged to work there with award-winning composer Joan Tower and the Da Capo Chamber Players.
Ms. Levinson''s CDs are being used by traditional and alternative healthcare practitioners worldwide, to relieve stress and promote physical and emotional healing for their patients. Spiritual retreat centers, yoga studios and spas have also discovered the soothing qualities of Jann''s music. Many of this country''s national parks feature her CDs in their gift stores. "Snowbow" from her "Sunrise" recording received the 2002 Second Place Finalist Award in the Solo Instrumental Category from Just Plain Folks, the Internet''s largest community of independent musicians.
For the full passion and immediacy of the music, Ms. Levinson offers concerts and intimate sharings of her compositions. The imaginative use of overtones ringing from the grand piano combined with her light touch on the keys, bathes the listener in a multi-dimensional sound experience which truly surpasses what can be captured in recording.
Jann is also sharing her love of sound in her role as sound coach to adults and children. Her innovative techniques allow students to find their natural voice and to benefit from the gift of vibration through song, chant and/or musical instruments. Jann also facilitates a weekly class using her intuitive gifts as a sound healer. She shares her love of singing, chanting, toning, drumming and sound meditations with the intention of using sound to improve lives by bringing about positive personal change.
Ms. Levinson''s newest CD, Jewels of Light, uses a full spectrum of sound color to gently open and harmonize each of the eight human energy centers called chakras. The experience of composing this tone poem, in eight movements, was profound for Jann. She knew she was writing down music that did not come from her, but from a higher Source. As she was transcribing the music, it was revealed to her that each movement is composed in a different minor key, which relates directly to the chakra system though its relative major key. The songs are ancient and new; they are familiar and unknown. The soul knows these melodies. They are portals to love.
All of Ms Levinson''s work is congruent with her dream to share her love of music, and to touch as many hearts with sound as the Universe may allow.
