There is nothing I like better than New
Age and Celtic music performed by an orchestra or an ensemble and the new album by Anewday fills the bill rather nicely. Their recording called Autumn Musings is chock full of haunting piano, lush strings and memorable compositions. The music is perfect for counting the silver of scudding clouds, observing the yellow of goldenrod fields and watching the ochre flurry of falling leaves. I was fortunate enough to first hear this music the day after the first thunderstorm of fall and the air was clear, almost sharp and the subtle changes of the season made their first appearance. The music was perfect.
The birth of Canadian duo Anewday is simple really. A chance meeting at a music store brought pianist Rob Miller and orchestrator Rob Huestis together. What they had in common, music, ambition and potential, would forge an alliance that was more than strong enough to produce great songs. Anewday was formed when the duo realized that they had enough music to fill an album. They also had common histories. Both had families that had deep musical roots. Both had classical training, but stretched their imaginations to embrace other genres and both share a passion for everything they do on and off the musical playing field. ----------R J LANNON, NewAge Reporter
