A Special Light

A Special Light collects works by composer David Macbride spanning the last decade. Throughout, Macbride explores his relationship with his Chinese heritage (his mother was from China, his father from Scotland), a part of him he'd never directly addressed in his work before. But beyond cultural signals or specificities, Macbride’s music has what he calls “a basic sense of serenity and focus.” Underlying the diversity of each piece is a reflective and meditative awareness.
