Dear Stanton, I paused in appreciation for your genuine efforts and grace to bring more hope into thus crazy world. I am touched, truly and would like to strongly suggest a reading of an exceptional writing to you, please. Should you take my suggestion you will find a reading of the Most gentle wisdom that has the power to transform a weary heart to one full of celebration for life and hope, yes of hope, too as your efforts have shown is so needed. I heard your song, and heard your heart as I was listening, so much that I had to write it down so I could hear it again. I heard it on the radio. Please let me know how you like the book I am recommending. It's title is "Hear Yourself" written by Prem Rawat. It is a New York Times bestseller. Looking forward to hearing how you like it. All the best Mrs. Barry

[@StantonLanier]

Thank you Joyce for listening to and watching the video story behind "Awaken the Dawn," one of the top listener favorites among my twenty-two years of composing. And thank you for your encouraging words. The inspirational verse from Psalm 108:1-2 reads, "My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul. Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn." This essence of hope was my heart's expression in composing the piece. Thank you for your interest and spirit in sharing the book recommendation. My personal faith is filled with love, grace, and joy which Jesus has so generously given to me and is continuing to grow in my heart through the Bible and the Grace and Truth of His Word. Through my years of investigating the Gospel I have found all God's promises to be faithful and true. So thank you for your grace and understanding if I don't have time to read this book in the midst of other reading I have planned for quite some time. Blessings to you in life, music, and faith! - Stanton

[@monsieurbillyted]

Hi Stanton, Renée here from Australia. I LOVE this explanation of your piece Awaken the dawn. You played my video at your Atlanta concert many years ago. I'm so grateful I now fully understand the piece. Thank you 🙏 for explaining it so eloquently! Hope you're well. God bless 🙏

[@StantonLanier]

Hi Renee, thank you so much for watching and listening as I shared why and how I composed "Awaken the Dawn," along with other pieces in this video series. I'm so glad you are still enjoying! This song is one of my all-time favorites too. God's blessings to you! - Stanton

[@frankjones4357]

The actual music aside, with all the pieces you've created throughout your life, I imagine that it must be a real challenge coming up with a new name for each? I mean the combination of notes and chords seems virtually limitless, but not so with words and phrases.

[@StantonLanier]

Well, actually sometimes its the name of the song or a phrase that comes first, and helps me write the music itself. Thank you for listening! - Stanton

[@jeremypremeau6856]

Did you also add all the orchestration in the final version? This piece has so much feeling in it, and the orchestra augments it perfectly!

[@StantonLanier]

Hi Jeremy, I am so glad you love this piece. The orchestration was performed by guest artists during the original recording sessions featuring cello, English horn, flugel horn, and angelic vocals. Blessings to you! - Stanton

[@akfarver459]

Incredible beautifull Music. Thank you. Many ears ago i listende to One of your pieces where the video whas in drawing an there were two persons at the piano. The One slowly disapeared What was the name?

[@StantonLanier]

Hello A.K. and thank you for watching. I don't have a music video with two people at the piano, but maybe you are thinking of my Christmas piece and video "Shepherds and Stars," which is the only one with a drawing. Blessings to you! - Stanton
