Album Notes

Peter B. Allen is a composer and pianist whose music has been described as "fresh, lyrical and rhythmic." It blends the best aspects of classical and Jazz influences. His music covers a variety of mediums including orchestral, choral and chamber music. Peter has also written several books of vocal music that are often used in worship services.

Peter's professional credits include music for film, live theater and dance productions. He has contributed his talents to numerous Jazz and Pop groups, and served as a ballet and vocal accompanist. In 1986 Peter toured Europe as a freelance musician. Since 1994 he has dedicated himself to writing concert music and in 1998 started PBA Music Publishing.

Peter's latest CD release, recorded in 2003, is Solitary Freedom, a collection of meditations for solo piano, also performed by the composer himself. In August 2000 Peter recorded Pilgrim on Earth, a collection of compositions for piano and orchestra based on well-known hymns. In 1998 he recorded his piece the Greatest Thing in the World with soprano Julia Wade and members of the San Francisco Symphony. In 1994 Peter recorded an album of inspirational solos entitled Still with Thee with vocalist Tanya Perkins.

Peter holds a B.A. in Piano & Composition from Principia College (1981) and diplomas in Arranging and Film Scoring from the Grove School of Music (1984). He also attended the summer music study programs at Eastman School of Music and Aspen Music Festival.
