One of the best-selling artists in the New Age market, Gerald Jay Markoe has created a series of popular albums inspired by astrological studies, angels, and Native American music. One of his particular talents is for blending classical music (which he studied at Juilliard) with the textures and tones of meditative music. As the title implies, CELESTIAL MOZART FOR RELAXATION features Mozart's most ethereal melodies. These have been adapted to the synthesizer and are played in futuristic orchestral arrangements that recall Wendy Carlos.
Each selection focuses on an instrumental sound (though they are played, quite obviously, on a synthesizer)--so while "Magic Flute" is arranged for strings, "Sonata in C 2nd Movement" is arranged for harp, "Concerto #4 2nd Movement" is arranged for guitar, and so on. Moreover, each selection is assigned an appropriate "function." Some are meant for practicing yoga, some are meant for stress release, and some are meant for massage. CELESTIAL MOZART is a soundtrack to the healing arts, complete with its own set of activity-specific designations.
