“This is one of the best solo piano recordings I am aware of. It was recorded when Sarah was 18 years old, and contains material she wrote between age 12 and 18. Don't let her age fool you. Even at this age, she is a true virtuoso on piano and composition, and plays on this recording with a full hearted abandon that I feel very lucky to have captured. Now, 8 years later, she is out of college, composes music for TV and movies, makes great recordings of her newer singer/songwriter music, and is carving out a successful career in the music industry. This recording is a rare chance to hear the formative and beautiful work of an artist that will eventually become a household word. Enjoy!” Stephen Lester- Engineer/Producer

Sarah was born, late for the dance, to a full moon night in August of 1981.

Sarah’s first piano was an upright clunker and her first compositions were small pieces created in response to children’s television programs. About one of those pieces, she once reflected to her dad that the music that came with the program was “wrong.” This at the age of four.

The music on the album is both thematic and emotive. As with life, the music breathes. It has a biographical quality to it. It includes melodies created at the piano and captured on tape or simply in Sarah’s memory - at various times between the ages of 9 and 18. Inspiration for Sarah’s music frequently emerges from the emotional traffic of day to day experience. The compositions themselves have occurred (as what Sarah describes as “music in her head”) in such diverse places as a beach in Mexico, homeward bound on a plane in the air, or as improvisations in the recording studio.

The work on this recording was done courtesy of the High Desert Playhouse in Joshua Tree, California. It represents a collaborative effort between Sarah, at the piano, and Steve Lester, of New Moon Records, whose recording genius brought it all to life. The final product owes itself to both.
