Definition? "New Age" is an illusive term for an equally illusive type of music. Drawing from the musical influence of the Impressionists in combination with contemporary elements, New Age Music offers the performer a wealth of coloristic sound combinations. Compositions are usually "flowing and resonant" and interpretive. This contemporary genre of music often deals with natural phenomena and provides an impression of nature. It engages the listener to experience a feeling or mood, frequently one of introspection, peace and calm, or by contrast evokes feelings of high energy." - From Neil A. Kjos Piano Library

This month - An "old fashioned" but very pretty piece! Also, I'm working now on some New Age for later this year, but don't know when they are going to finish taking shape.
