Just came across a lovely minimalist work for solo piano, Ryan Keebaugh’s “Be Still”. Perhaps particularly fitting for Holy Week. youtube.com/watch?v=CnqnJemM--

Ryan has a bunch of other works on his website, which I will be digging into as well: ryankeebaugh.com/works.html

@chriskrycho My first thought was this had some captivating sonorities in the upper register. Then I looked at the running time. Over an hour in length! 🤯

@chrisfoley Ha! Yes. It is very much in the tradition of minimalism in that regard: it never “goes” anywhere, but it is delightfully meditative and lovely.

@chriskrycho But you’re right, that would be the perfect Lenten piece for a meditation service or vigil. Especially if it’s framed so that listeners can experience the unfolding of time within the work.
