The Vesica Massage

"The Vesica Massage is the result of a long process of composition that has been as challenging and rewarding for me as anything I have ever attempted. A massage session has its own structure and dynamics, and I tried to echo these in the composition. Massage also has its own rhythms, which I equate with the relaxing, peaceful pulse of the lullaby and barcarole. The tempo never strays beyond the range of the relaxed human pulse-rate, and in terms of development, each piece relaxes within itself, so that the fullest musical statements come towards the beginning of each track, with the music gradually becoming simpler and more elemental. The fundamental key of the work, G Major, is traditionally associated with peace, calm and happiness."... taken from www.judge-smith.com. © 2004 Judge Smith. ® 2006 Masters Of Art.
