From Donna about this album... "There are times when our hearts are broken and our lives torn apart--times of sadness, loss and grief that seem too great to bear. In those moments, dark shadows deepen to an endless night and we wonder if we will ever again step into the light.... These are simple song-chants--written to be sung and shared with others as a profound message of Truth. They express joy, inspiration and possibility--even though I often wrote them from deep sadness as a prayer for help and hope. They reminded me of who I really am and who you and we are--the Light and Love of God. If we listen--in the silence--we can always hear that whisper...and remember how we shine." ---Donna ABOUT DONNA and HER MUSIC Donna Michael, on the Quarterlight label, is a composer and singer/songwriter whose critically acclaimed acoustic piano contemporary instrumental and vocal recordings have been described as "a heavenly escape," "food for the soul," and "wondrously healing." Her original piano compositions immerse the listener in a world of grace, elegance and quiet passion. Her vocal style is gently expressive and delicately honest. Donna's music is perfect for healing, hope, inspiration, creativity, wellness, meditation, massage, relaxation, yoga and much more. Technically superb yet deeply touching, her music whispers encouragement and love. Instrumental Albums MUSIC FOR MEDITATION, RENEWAL, HEALING and CREATIVITY Donna has released several critically acclaimed instrumental collections, ranging from deeply soothing stream-of-consciousness recordings ("Somewhere in the Silence" and "When Silence Whispers") to music for inspiration, creativity, hope and celebration ("This Feels Like Heaven" and "The Brighter Side of Night"). “Somewhere in the Silence” and “When Silence Whispers” contain individual one-of-a-kind musical meditations, created and played spontaneously with no pre-planned music. Both of these gentle, flowing albums explore the depths of "silence" as the listener experiences deep release and rejuvenation. Deeply soothing, peaceful and introspective, they are much like "exhaling from the soul and breathing in a new sense of life." “This Feels Like Heaven” is an evocative, inspiring collection of fourteen original piano compositions that will immerse you in a world of grace, elegance and quiet passion. "The Brighter Side of Night" (done with Lee Spears) is a recording that traces the symbolic coming of night--with its mystery, magic, enchantment, solitude and serenity--to the first light of dawn and a new awakening of hope for a brighter tomorrow. The two also created their highly regarded Christmas and winter season recording ("Winterfall"), offering a collection of unique instrumental interpretations. Capturing both the celebration yet quiet beauty of this time of year, “Winterfall” is deeply inspiring, reflective, and comforting, SONG CHANTS, SONGBOOKS and INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC Donna has composed and created "life-affirming" collections of inspiring song chants and instrumental accompaniment tracks that are ideal for individual and group singing to celebrate oneness and love (this album, "Into the Light" and "One Mind One Heart"). Her long-awaited 2-disc CD entitled "Out of the Darkness" is a companion recording to "Into the Light." “I Feel Joy” is a collection of song chants, instrumental tracks and even 2 rhythm tracks to create your own chants or move to the rhythm of Spirit!
