SEASONS OF TRANQUILITY instrumental version (53.47)

Genre: New Age, Ambient

Ken Kaufman has captured sounds from around the world with four distinctly different but equally relaxing moods presented here:
1. Autumn of Tranquility, Native American rhythms resonate throughout with use of electric piano, harp, temple blocks, recorder, and strings. (12.18)
2. Reflections of Winter, has an American flare, created with the use of piano, bass strings, and oboe. (10.51)
3. Showers of Spring, Strings, inspired by the sacred sites of Machu Pitchu and Kyoto, bring out the Asian flavor. (11.22)
4. Serenity of Summer, electric piano, xylophone, bass, shakers, guitar, strings and flute help promote a tropical mood. (18.45)

The soothing melodies of SEASONS OF TRANQUILITY also complement the spoken word performance of Kathleen Swann in SEASONS OF SERENITY.

Dave Howell of Rambles refers to Ken Kaufman's work as: '...decidedly for relaxation. It is so new age. It makes George Winston sound like Jerry Lee Lewis...'

True Music Reviews of Australia published this on their site (September 2004): SEASONS OF SERENITY...
Kathleen's voice is soothing and relaxing as she guides you through moments of emotions and does this with the use of spoken word. The experience Kathleen has acquired through her nursing career definitely is delivered through her tone and guidance in the music...SEASONS OF TRANQUILITY...extremely calming...
