Maurice Horne is a composer and keyboard performer who has published numerous CDs in recent years. His impromptus are especially presented for your meditative and relaxing moments.

Maurice\'s 2007 release is \"Dreamscapes.\" This new CD is a return to his concept CD \"Soundscapes\" (2001). Each track has a different instrument or combination of sound samples of actual acoustical instruments. In other words, dreamy, relaxing meditative music building to an awesome awakening at the conclusion.

In 2005, he published \"Piano Dreams.\" (Various pianos on every track of this one.) Create your own dreams with this masterful exposition of strings and piano. Each song begins with full synth strings and then they become the background for beautiful piano ballads. Perfect background music for your quiet times.

He has published 9 CDs in the last six years. Seven of them are on www.cdbaby.com/horne. They are also available for digital download from numerous internet sites such as iTunes, MusicMatch and Rhapsody under CD Baby\'s digital distribution.

A classically trained musician with both degrees in music and law, he devotes his evenings and weekends to composing, recording, and publishing ethereal synthesizer and keyboard music. He records in his home recording studio. Maurice holds copyrights on hundreds of unpublished songs. His music has been aired on TV on PBS.

His other CDs on this website include \"Pianoscapes\" (2002), \"Soundscapes\" (2001). He also released \"Greatest Hits\" (2001) on grand piano; \"Loves\' Communion\" (digitally remastered 2001) on piano; and \"Sweet Contemplations\" (digitally remastered 2001) on electronic keyboards.

\"Tranquility\" is comprised of 19 tracks of orchestral strings and other multi-tumbrel synthesizer sounds and pianos. The music is ethereal and causes one to feel serene as if traveling in free-floating outer space. It is definitely meditative and relaxing music for driving or as a warm, supportive background for whatever you may be doing. If tranquility is your destination, place the CD in its tray and you\'re on your way.

\"Pianoscapes\" has 15 tracks with different digital pianos blended with lush synthesizer sounds. Some tracks are piano renditions similar to Schubert\'s “Impromptus.” In fact, impromptus may be the most accurate genre description of his music.

In 2004 he released \"The Music of Angels: 20 Traditional Hymns.\" Track 20 is an original hymn by Maurice--one for the twenty-first century. For the music on this CD, Maurice uses a digital grand piano over virtuoso strings. In the final track, he plays a majestic pipe organ. The music is enhanced by the best multi-timbrel digital sampling keyboards, tone generators and stereo effects processors.

“The Music of Maurice Horne is music you haven\'t heard--and music you won\'t forget.”
