(): After teaming to write an award-winning original score for a web series, pianist-composer-arranger Peggy Duquesnel reunites with orchestrater and woodwind man Billy Martin for a newly released outing that explores the spiritual side of her creative muse entitled "In The Garden." Containing over an hour of tranquil piano and woodwind selections issued on the Joyspring Music label featuring originals penned by Duquesnel along with classics and traditional hymns, the recording also includes a pair of long-revered hymns from the late pianist and Piano Orchestrations brand creator Steve Hall, whose 25-year-old, two-million-selling Bankbeat Productions imprint recently came under the Joyspring Music umbrella.Ĭontinuing her varied recording career that spans a dozen instrumental and vocal jazz and devotional albums, "In The Garden" is a soothing session featuring Duquesnel's lyrical piano poetry and enhanced by Martin's woodwinds. The pianist wrote nearly half of the record and conceived of fresh arrangements for the timeless hymns with the lion's share of the lush orchestrations deftly handled by Martin. Setting the mood for reflection, Duquesnel's spacious production allows her poignant, uplifting and communicative piano melodies to occupy the fore while sweeping orchestral woodwind backdrops underscore the exquisite orations.Ī companion "In The Garden" DVD is also now available, pairing the album's tracks with stunning nature videos that are currently in rotation at the recently launched Radiant TV network. Lensed by Creation Scape's Gary Hanson, the cinematic images marry the music to the divine splendor of colorful carpets of floral fauna, majestic mountain ranges, placid streams and babbling brooks, verdant rainforests and oceanfront vistas. "'In The Garden' is a continuation of my work with Billy Martin along with remembrances of my late collaborator Steve Hall, with whom I worked for 20 years.
