It's been a long time since hearing this, and it's just as beautiful as ever!
Reading through the lovely comments... my gosh, @bigpete was right. It has been 10 years now!
(theme to the Twilight Zone playing in my head, lol!) True honor to be a part of this timeless piece!
Thank you once again David (spacebud) + @Jolee, bless you!

I listened to this late last night (as I was working on our composition).
I just have one word for this piece of music. "Great"!

That opening...
What were you saying about speaking without words?
Heavenly.
Enter choir and lead vocals...
Perfection.
The orchestration is simply beautiful.
Even if I did not know you had alove of classical,I would make a guess that you did.
It is wonderful how you apply that to your works.
I'm a sucker for piano.
It is such an experssive instrument.
If I had one quibble,I REALLY wanted it to just go on and on David.
It is such a perfect pearl.

I live in Ohio where I am a practicing Psychologist http://davidcdealphd.com/ . My favorite instruments are an array of keyboards, however I also enjoy playing acoustic guitar. I currently perform in a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band named Siberian Solstice. www.siberiansolstice.com ,
I have released two CD’s, “Harmonic Space” and “Transformations.” “Harmonic Space” is a clinically based CD that aids people in coping with anxiety and sleep disorders. “Transformations” is a concept album that is both a spiritual autobiography and, hopefully, a spiritual vessel. The songs from Transformations have deep, emotional, and spiritual intent. I continue to write, record, produce, and collab and have also posted many of these songs.
My musical styles are said to range from those of progressive rock bands such as YES and Pink Floyd to Broadway musicals such as those of Andrew Lloyd Weber. I often add a little bit of Jazz and Classical flavoring. I have recently been mixing my acoustic guitar roots with more progressive elements.
A Word from David:
I have been blessed with many artistic and musical friends who have offered their talents to my recordings. Some of the musicians who played on the posted songs include Les Brooke, Tom Hannah, Tim Vargo, Andrew Vargo, Cynthia Lugo, Andrea Bok, David Coonrod, Ned Clark, Kevin Peters, Kristin Sorensen, William O’Connell, Ked Deiter, Mack Sanders, Rob Hanlon, Richard Gonzales, Bob Ross, Pat Ross, Michael Duryee, Nigel Potter, Joseph Rodriguez, P.E.Bailey, Carol Sue Kirkpatrick, Bill Smith, Buddrumming, Rasmuth, Jolee, Terry Wigmore and John Else, I want to extend special thanks to Arthur Kills Straight Putnam who wrote and recorded all of the native flute parts which follow each song in “Transformations”.
Finally, I want to say a special thanks to David Coonrod. He plays incredible bass on many of the posted songs and has been an awesome collaborator and friend. At this point I would hardly be willing to release any musical arrangement without passing it by his ears for suggestions etc. A talented, selfless friend and a musical compadre.
Transformation Cover Message:
"Sometimes, in the midst of a perfectly ordinary day, one is unexpectedly flooded by the magnificence of “what is.” Perhaps that moment of awareness and clarity arrives while watching a storm or absorbing a piece of art or kneeling with intention in a church. If blessed, echoes of the past and visions of the future fade from existence as the unknowing silence of the infinite present emerges. With patience and grace, one comes to know the incredible richness of “what is” as a revelation of God’s face, and the mind is forever transformed into a mirror of creation." . . . .
It's been a long time since hearing this, and it's just as beautiful as ever!
