Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Dr. Rod’s release “A Classic Case” explodes taboos with “off the radar” treatments to the world’s greatest classical music. Dr. Rod presents a bright cast of rising stars in a powerful set of familiar and timeless melodies for the 21st century. Rod Henley, a.k.a. Dr. Rod, has been making music since he could pull himself up to a piano bench – working over a four decade career as an instrumentalist, arranger, composer and performer with vocal jazz Grammy Award Hall of Fame Icons The Four Freshmen and The Manhattan Transfer.

Music

Orchestral versions of The Fairy Ring and Silver Wings recorded by Dutch Orchestra with Kate Williams on piano. And so to Dream, Within the Light, the Land of Hopes and Dreams, Angel Delight and Mystic Angel.

Music has been used internationally, by Shirley Maclaine, and many other spiritual teachers in their meditation, yoga and practices.

Life

Mike Rowland was the originator of ambient relaxation music with the longest selling album The Fairy Ring, available today with many variations on YouTube! Subsequent albums include Silver Wings, Arc en ciel, My Elfin Friends, and many more. His piano playing, and his ability for composing music began in childhood, and his early recordings were in his own home studio using tape and splicing. These days, a Master in electroacoustic music Mike uses ProTools, Mac and modern facilities to aid his composition. He is currently creating new music with several friends. He is also an Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Counsellor.

Mike Rowland grew up on outer London where he learned piano as a boy and studied music at school. After a spiritual experience as a young man he first composed the Fairy Ring “which he heard as an inspiration” and recorded it. It became the music used for a new Yoga practitioner and the rest, as they say, is history. Mike completed a Master’s degree in electroacoustic music in 2000 specialising in live recordings and developing a new strata of electroacoustic music with symphonic form.

He lives in the quiet Suffolk countryside overlooking the sea, and is devoted to his playing, spiritual and music teaching, garden and nature.
