Thoughts on "The Bleak Midwinter":
"The Bleak Midwinter is a collection of eight introspective pieces for solo piano written during the winter months of 2016. The songs begin as improvisations. Some are left as such and some are reworked into more formal compositions. In exploring the connection between music and the natural world I tried to invoke the pastoral and melancholic mood of the season but maintain an optimistic tone. I think of the pieces as stories; I invite each listener to create their own story as they listen. "-Jeff
