What's New? |
| I first met Richard Douglas Trowbridge Souther in 1975, when he was part of A Band Called David...who toured the country as the backup band for Christian rockers Barry McGuire and The Second Chaper of Acts (often accompanied by legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy). He was an in-demand session musician as well, and a pioneer in new age instrumental music (both solo piano and synth-driven). He performed and recorded under two different names...Richard Souther and Douglas Trowbridge...in order to connect with two different markets, recording for the Meadowlark/Sparrow and MCA/Narada labels. Now he's reintegrated his split musical personalties to some degree, and uses his complete given name...and he's sharing with us two beautiful solo piano compositions from his Memories of Twilight album: She's Like The Circle and Mississippi Tears can both be found on the Music 4 page. |

About This Site |
"Solo
Piano". The term has come to describe a genre of music
which has become extremely popular over the past 20 years. It
mingles elements of pop, jazz and classical music to form a
style also been termed "new age". Artists such as
Yanni, George Winston and Jim Brickman have helped define the
genre and spread its popularity. Strong melodies, a tender touch
and a soothing spirit are hallmarks of this music, which, despite
the "solo" reference, may occasionally incorporate other simple
instrumentation to frame the mood.
