| Hymn |
My favorite piece for this album. In one of those strange ways, when I first played this piece, I realized that it was the piece for my friends David and Trudy, to be played at their wedding. Never mind that they got married almost three years ago... |

| If You Believe |
The first of several pieces by Jim Brickman. What can I say, I bought a collection of his works last year... |

| In A Lover's Eyes |
Another Brickman piece. I like the way that the previous piece flows into this piece, almost as if they are two movements of the same song. |

| So Close |
A very fun piece to play, with a lot of variation of tempo and volume, and several different themes that repeat with variations. |

| We Met Today |
When I first attempted this piece, it was the most difficult piece I had tried. It seems easy now, so I guess my skill is coming back fairly well. A nice piece; it came out faster than I intended, but I actually like that way now that I've herd it. |

| Heartland |
A very simple and slow romantic piece. |

| Anthem Of My Heart |
Both the longest piece and the last recorded. The ending third or so of the piece is supposed to be fairly loud, but I found the chords sounded too harsh when recorded that way, so I ended up playing with peaks and valleys of volume rather than a steady climb. Not sure how I like the results, but until I get a different piano and/or recording setup... |

| Borders |
A nice piece, with some interesting subtleties in the playing. |

| In This Small Spot |
An absolutely beautiful piece. The original recording by Tim Story was a synthesizer piece, but it works wonderfully for a solo piano. |

| Hero's Dream |
Definitely the happiest piece in this collection. |

| Rocket To The Moon |
I don't really get the title to this piece -- it is a little pensive and introspective in tone. I guess that working at NASA changes the emotional impact of the phrase for me. |

| The Shape Of Her Face |
I put this one at the end of the album because it is the slowest, most melancholy piece on the album. Was the composer thinking of a lost love? |
