The Music of the Grand Canyon by Nicholas Gunn Heroic themes, vocal chants, and African-influenced percussive rhythms propel Gunn’s flute through expansive compositions. —Billboard Spot Light
Following Gunn’s recent hit release The Sacred Fire (top ten on Billboards’s charts) is the inspiring addition to Real Music’s National Parks Series — The Music of the Grand Canyon. Experience the contrasts of the canyon from the percussion — driven rush of a panoramic “Flight Over North Rim” to the tender piano ballad of star-filled “Canyon Nights.” The stirring flamenco guitar of “New World” honors the legacy of the early Spanish explorers while the melodic “South Rim” awakens the soul as morning unfolds along the Kaibab Trail.

The Unforgetting Heart by Michael Hoppé The parting of a summer mist, a loved one’s tender touch, the fragrance of a rose… memories of The Unforgetting Heart.

The Music of Olympic National Park by Mars Lasar With orchestrations to match the majesty of the spectacular Olympic National Park, Mars Lasar's musical panoramas sweep across glacial valleys, through lyrical alpine meadows, and into the secret shaded worlds of the moss-draped Northwest rainforest. The music moves effortlessly from grand, inspired vistas to details of delicate beauty. It celebrates the area’s earliest Native American settlers and, earlier still, the primal forces that originally shaped this ice-hewn land. This is the finest album yet from Lasar, whose heroic melodies were used for the televised 1992 Olympic Games in Albertville, France.
