Ayre is “…a song-like vocal or instrumental composition.” And with that, The Oxford Dictionary of Music, has easily summed up the wide selection of music found on David Lanz and Kristin Amarie’s latest masterwork, Ayres. The album was just released on the first of November to rave reviews!
Classical crossover best describes their original music. In addition, you will hear contemporary classical arrangements of Bach, several very original takes on classic hymns, and even a theme from an Academy Award winning movie.

Intimate vocal and solo piano performances, stand along side sweeping orchestral arrangements in support of vocals, choir, and instrumentals centered around the piano and cello.
Notable guest stars include original Procol Harum organist, Matthew Fisher and UK singing ensemble, Apollo5. Award winning Danish classical guitarist, Lars Hannibal and Libera’s boy treble singing star, Luca Brugnoli, also appear.
Ayres is a rich and beautifully conceived album. A soundtrack who’s spirit invites the listener to immerse themselves in a very personal and soul soothing musical experience.
