about

Reviews:

"With "Beloved," Leyden has graduated to a new level of artistry. I enjoyed "Peace Be Still" and "Portal To Stillness" but Beloved is transcendent.

Leyden has never been one to hang his melodies on strict structures, but Beloved roams so freely, so effortlessly, that it's difficult to understand how it all holds together. Yet it does. Like a ribbon affixed to a wand in the hands of a skilled and lithely dancer. "

--Shayde Christian, Writer/Director

"....Leyden's music is powerful, yet remains subtle throughout the album of fifteen songs. There are some haunting solo performances as well as multi instrumentals. The light, synthesized orchestral accompaniment of many of the songs is filmy, weightless and does not impede the flow. Where the Hammond organ came from, I'll never know.

Furthermore, there are many Native American flute influences throughout, but that is not in fact the main theme. Its sub-title could be something like “things you love” or "a musical journey in my life so far" of the things that I love. In any case, the gentle music is very additive and just the right medicine to calm the spirit...."

--RJ Lannan, The Sounding Board


Album notes:

Bill Leyden uses the Native American style flute in a series of heart-touching musical textures and solo improvisations. The result is a compelling and healing journey that deepens with each listening.

The flutes are magical and organic instruments, full of mystery and expression. When played alone or with orchestration, the combination of exotic woods, breath and musical textures comes together to guide you on inner journeys of love, longing, healing and wonder.

Let the music take you to a deep level of feeling -- where you can contemplate what in life is

. . . Beloved.
