MORE THAN JUST GREAT MUSIC

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Its easier for me to talk about Yiling than strictly about her music.

I am no "expert" in music.



She is humble, she plays herself down, reminding me all the time,

she's just another human being,

a mother, a pianist, composer, a devoted teacher, a good neighbor,

an advocate for Mother Earth...



I beg to differ!

I am "biased" by decades of life experience;

of trailing and sailing the sea of humanity;

and I am constantly AMAZED by this soul.

What a gifted one!

She sublimated the salt of her tears onto nectar,

that touches and spreads trough every soul within reach,

as it travels the sound spectrum.

Out of life's adversity she emerged divine and winged.



She channels the beauty of nature,

to the best of human nature.

She is -and doesn't know it-

a "Medicine woman" in her own right,

because the sounds, the images, the journeys,

the effects emanating off her piano,

trough those hands raptured by love,

those fingers possessed by light;

take one's soul on paths that leave no realm untouched.



Some may bring tears to one's eyes -of joy-

others, visions of deep canyons,

scents of the evergreen on pristine forests,

the wonder of a child eyes before God's creation,

healing waters as they run to the ocean,

prisms of sunlight condensed on drops of dew,

as they warm on a blade of grass.

You will be at times winged, soaring with eagles,

and then gallop full force with the wild mustangs.

You will be deeply rooted and bark will be your skin,

as you are turned into an ancient tree,

caressed by the wind and the passage of time.

Longings, lovers tenderness,

deep palettes of every human emotion.

No human sense would be spared by this majestic channel of pure,

touching, healing, humbling, love.....



The notes of her melodies are written on granite,

water, rain, lava, wind, rainbows,

and every existing shade of color,

as the Earth Mother turns around the father sun.

The result is beautiful medicine...peace...

passion at its best dimension!



Labeling her magic solely "Music" in my opinion is not rendering tribute

to the whole majesty of Life and beauty condensed on this CD medium.

I repeat: I am no expert in music. I could only express -from a place of heart-

what the melodies do to my body, mind and soul.

I feel alive, blessed, uplifted, touched by a charmed journey every time I hear them.

And I am grateful to the Creator for allowing messenger Spirits like Yiling's to walk this Earth.
