Album Notes

A musical departure from Manuel Luz's other releases, this album was an experiment: Set up a few mics above the Yamaha grand piano in his living room, and hit the record button during his musical devotional times over the course of a few weeks. The result was this album, a completely improvised instrumental CD created during some intimate moments of prayer and reflection. Originally intended as a simple Christmas gift to select friends, Manuel has seen the ministry potential of this work.

"I met a few people who are using this album to touch people spiritually," Manuel explains. "One was using this album in a hospice care situation, one with the elderly. And I know others who use it during their devotional times, or times when they just want to sit by the fireplace. I think there's a meditative, peaceful quality to the album that speaks to people." Music from the album has also been used as underscore for video. A special CD-R release.
