 What people are saying
about the music....
"I cannot tell you how much my
(piano) students enjoy your music. They feel like they have reached a
milestone
when I allow them to start playing it (these are Liam and Nathan's first
David Nevue pieces). Seth plays almost nothing but your stuff; Isaac has
performed several pieces in church. Maia is convinced her cat loves your
music and plays it for her a lot; Alex listens to your CD's while she reads
and as she falls asleep at night. Jenny, Nathan, Hayley and Kody took a theory/composition class
with me last year. They came up with some lovely original works, which we
recorded and put onto CD, they even designed jackets for the CD's. Each
of them listed you in their acknowledgements as an important influence
on their composition--without any prompting from me!! I know I keep saying this, but we are all
looking forward to having you visit again!!" - Pam
"I was search for something to distract me from this sometimes hectic and often cruel world. I was in search of music, in piano, and
there you were. I listened to your music and while I listened I
jotted down a few things and feelings that came to be while the music played
on. It's still playing. The music I hear almost brings me to tears, as if
the melodies were my very own triumphs or silent screams. I'd like to say how beautiful your music is, but
that would be an injustice." - Michelle
"I taught myself
to play the piano about 10 years ago. Two years ago I just quit. No reason, I just
didn't feel like playing anymore. Last week I was googling some guitar music (I play acoustic
fingerstyle) and for some unknown reason, your website popped up and I went
there. I listened to your music for a little while, thought it was
beautiful, and lo and behold, found myself buying a couple of your
sheet music packages. I dusted off the piano and have barely left it since. Your music
is so melodic yet arranged so that even a lower/intermediate player can do it
some justice. Just had to say thanks for bringing me
back." - Sandy
"I have been writing music for three years now,
and its because of
your music. You are the one who inspired me to write my first song, and since
I first heard Sweet Dreams & Starlight I've learned to play piano and have enough
music for two CDs." - Miri
"I just want to let you know how
much you inspired me at just 16 years old. I'm now 19, my violin is an extension
of my left arm (as well as right if we become technical), and not only have you
influenced the piano work I started working after listening to you, but you've
just created a strong place hold within my musicianship. I've never had the
chance to hear you play live, but your music always lives within me." -
Alasha
"When I first heard Winter Walk and The Vigil I thought to myself, "This
person is a genius." And you are. Thank you for your music.I enjoy
listening to David Lanz, Kevin Kern, Catherine Duc, Catherine
Marie
Charlton, Jim Bajor, George Winston, Laura Sullivan and Beegie Adair...but
absolutely no one can play like you. I have all your CDs and I am
awaiting your next one..." - Joe
'I
just want to say, thank you. I started writing music two years
ago after I heard one of your songs because I found you
music so moving. And now I write music about every day. You
are my biggest hero,and a true inspiration." - Ket
"I
just want to let you know how much you inspired me at just 16
years old. I'm now 19, my violin is an extension of my left
arm (as well as right if we become technical), and not only
have you influenced the piano work I started working after listening
to you, but you've just created a strong place hold within my
musicianship. I've never had the chance to hear you play live,
but your music always lives within me." - Alasha
"As
a devoted father and grandfather I completely identify with
your "Sweet Dreams and
Starlight" theme. I work as an RN in a NICU in New
Jersey taking care of premature babies. When those little
miracles finally get big enough to go home I frequently get
asked by the parents how they are going to be able to take care
of them once they get home. I will then quote your liner note
from Sweet Dreams and tell them their children will be as much
a part of them as their heartbeat and the love they feel for
them will be all they need to be a parent. Thank you for
putting such sentiments into words and music for me and others."
- Jim
"I
have just, this weekend started to tweak around with the iTunes
radio stations and as a lover of classical piano music, I camped
out a lot trying the classical stations, where I found Whisperings.
I’ve had the station playing for days now, wherever a
computer was on in my house. This music has been outstanding
to me and in my home. Then today, I was looking on the
website and when I discovered you were
a believer – it just blessed my socks off and I realized
just how the Lord was touching me through your music. I
love how He works! So, I just wanted to write you and
say that most definitely the Holy Spirit is imparting to folks
through your music!" - Tammy
"Your
music is an inpiration to me. After almost 30 years of not playing,
my husband bought me a digital piano for Christmas and I saw
your site on the Internet and listened to your music. It
was beautiful. I am a big fan of Windam Hill but you have
something very special. I bought your rendition of Silent
Night and I sat down and played it with tears in my eyes.
I did not sound like you but I dream that someday I may.
I am sixty two and starting over. I amd forever grateful
for your music." - Varley
"The music is great. My wife loves it as much as I
do. I had it playing
the other day while my daughter was apparently fighting with a boyfriend via
MySpace.com, and she came to me later and told me she was not aware that "my
life had a soundtrack!" Apparently your music fit right in with her emotional
state at the time. She listened to more of the CDs and found she really likes
them. This is from a young lady that is into Pink Floyd, Muse, and Metallica."
- Ron
"I just wanted to thank you for your arrangement of 'It is Well With My Soul
(from Overcome)'
This song has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager because my mom and
I would sing it for church specials. She passed away in 1987 when I was 15.
This song holds a special place in my heart, and when I heard you playing it, I
wept. I just had to get the sheet music. I have been learning to play the piano
and reading music for three months now, so I am not that experienced. I am
flying through this song though! And it actually sounds good! Praise God for your testimony, there are not many artists that will give
all their glory to Christ." - Pam
"I live in Japan
and teach English as a second language in
elementary schools here. One of the elementary schools that I visit has a neat set-up with a fairly
large "play hall" across from several of the class rooms. In one corner of this room is an old upright piano that
is always available for whoever wants to play it. I often see students gathered
around that piano while one of them plays something, and I often look longingly
at the piano, but I have never gone over there myself, either I'm too shy or too
busy getting ready for the next class. But today, when I walked into the play
area, a few girls were gathered around the piano and one of them was playing. I
went over to listen, and after one girl stopped, they said they were taking
turns and it was my turn so could I play something. Fortunately, for the last few weeks, I have
been working on your song Overcome without the score. It was the only thing I was sure I could play score-less, so I
sat down and started to play. Something must
have been working right because I think I did the best performance of this piece
that I ever have, and finished it feeling moved and surprised by my own playing.
While I was playing, the three or so girls grew to a much bigger group,
including some boys, and they were all perfectly quiet while I was playing so I
didn't even realize more kids had come to listen. When I stopped, they all
clapped enthusiastically and said things like "wow" and "that was pretty" and
one girl said "I never get to play music like that in my lessons." Listening to
their reactions, I was glad I played Overcome, because I think some how what I
was trying to express while playing it got through to them and they seemed to
really respond. That's the first time I've ever really played
something from beginning to end for students, so that was nice. I felt like we shared something
special during that time. I don't think I'll ever forget that. I think
your song sounded really unique to them and they really seemed mesmerized. I
have gotten so much joy out of listening to your music, and playing this piece,
so I was really happy to be able to share that." - Jae
"I teach high school
kids with learning and behavior problems, and often keep background music
going as it seems to have a rather soothing effect, especially to the ADHD
kids. Generally, they just tolerate my selections, and they truly dislike classical music for some
reason. I
was excited when I found CD Baby in my internet search for piano music that
was something, anything, other than classical. I bought several. Your Whisperings
CD was
the first I played. I had it going for all 6 periods and was almost
entranced by the beauty of it. These students, who have learned to "tune
out" my music, were caught staring into space, and when I'd ask if they were
confused and needed help with their work they'd say, "No, just
listening". This is insanity for kids who listen to nothing but stuff I'm
not sure qualifies as music at all. Each period someone brought up the
music. They wanted to know about you, why
they heard such "feelings" in your music, how anyone ever learned to play
like that. I gotta tell you, this made my day. Many of these kids have
drug problems, police records, come from violent homes and perpetuate that
violence in their own lives. And they loved your music. There isn't much
I can do in the course of a year to change these almost-grown people, but
if they are exposed to, and learn to appreciate music like yours then you
and I have indeed done something. Thanks, on many levels." - Jamie
"Recently, one of our members lost her Mother to Alzheimer's. The Sunday morning
following the funeral I played your song "No More Tears" and dedicated it to her Mother.
When I finished, there were no tears - in their place was the smile of someone
comforted by beautiful music and the knowledge that her Mother was with the Lord
and that they would be together again someday. I truly believe this song and the
scripture you used as its basis has helped Clara through the grieving process.
For that I can't thank you enough." - Kevin
"Thank you for bringing your music to this world.
It's hauntingly captivating. Your music gave me courage to stop running away from my problems,
and instead face them. Overcome, The Vigil, and While the
Trees Sleep were the albums I've purchased and every track is very strong, passionate, and touching; they were
so beautiful and heartfelt that I want to weep with it--sometimes I do just
that. I am not a Christian, but strangely enough, I've become very curious what
kind of faith had the ability to drive such beautiful music. It made me want
to hope again. I am very honored and grateful to have the chance to find your
music. Thank you." - Suzuki
"I have never been so moved by music in my life. I
do not know if CD's can be wore out; if they can be then your CD's do not stand
a chance. Your music helps me study the Bible, college homework, and piano. The
hand of God has been upon your life, you truly are blessed." - Allen
"My sister is currently balanced between life and death, battling
leukemia. Your most recent CD, Overcome, has been the
music she has requested over and over during the times of greatest difficulty
these past two months. It is playing now
in her ICU room – I have left it in her little CD player and asked the nurses to
just keep it playing during the night, so that during any periods of heightened
alertness she would hear the familiar piano music that is so comforting to her.
Several times, while she was still able
to converse, she and I talked about letting you know how much your music has
accompanied us through our vigils, when the hard rains have come, and in the
valleys of shadow. Since Kayleen cannot
write you, I am standing in for her.... I especially appreciate your words
in the centerfold about the process of passing through sorrow and
suffering, and your clarification of this music as an “exploration of both
tested faith and patient hope.” Choosing to overcome is our theme: whatever happens, whether Kayleen is released
to Heaven to or to her family here, she is an overcomer. Thank you for sharing your journey
so powerfully. It has ministered hope
and peace to us, over and over and over again." - Linnea
"Your music touches my soul. I've been forced to play piano
most of my life. I've hated the idea of
ever playing again. But now that I have heard your music you've inspired me to play
again. Thank you!" - Stephanie
"First off, let me tell you that I am a 95% listener of hip-hop and
rap. When I heard your piano solos, it really touched me, man. You have a lot of
talent. I am glad that somehow I stumbled upon your website and was introduced
to the fluidity of your music. Thanks for inspiring me." - Randy
"I purchased your Emmanuel CD a few weeks ago and it was
the most often played of our family's 30+ Christmas CDs during the holiday
season. They are beautiful and unique
arrangements of the songs. The CD added a new dimension to our
holiday season. Thanks very much!" - Greg
"I discovered your music on Live 365 and was immediately attracted to your
biography and music. Postcards from Germany and Overcome have been two of the
most interesting CDs to me. I had spent almost 2 years in Germany when I
was in the ARMY at age 19 through 21. That was in 1974. I remembered being so inspired by the travels I took throughout
Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Holland. Being there did something in my soul
that changed my life. The CD, Overcome, has been the story of my life as I am
sure it is to a lot of others in this world. I can only imagine the words of
trials and triumphs and failures you could put to that music. In this world of noise and confusion it is so nice to hear the clear
music that you make. I also appreciate your dedication to God through your music and life. I
really like how you can take music that is associated with Christianity and add
your musical touch to it so it sounds like it belongs in this modern world. I
think that is key to reaching out to people, including those who have been in
the Christian church at one time in their life, and drawing them back to God. It
does that for me! I have needed
the peace and focus on God that you communicate through your music to help me
have the genuine heart for serving others." - Phil
"Your passion for music is so touching and
inspiring. I love the mission
statement that
you have on your website, "I am a seeker - seeking after my God,
striving to
serve Him, to understand His ways and His Word. My music is kind of a
soundtrack for that journey." That has to be one of the best quotes I
have
ever heard. Your music has touched my life in so many ways. Every
time I am
feeling something or going though something in life, I listen to your
music
to help me clear my head and spend time with God. Don’t stop playing,
continue with your ministry it will touch so many people, and so many
people
you had no idea you touched." - Steve
"I NEVER buy
recordings of solo piano music, but your arrangements were
just so
INTERESTING!!!" - Deborah
"I am so captivated by your music. I love its
richness and depth. I listen to it during times of anxiousness and it always
seems to bring a sense of peace. I can't help but think it is attributed to the
deep meaning and personal significance you place in your songs. One can really
tell that you deeply feel the pieces you create." - Kieth
"I don't know what it is
about your music, but I can not help myself listening to this disk
every day. If I don't play it in my car, I play it in my office. I
can't express how impressed and totally thrilled I am with this disk."
- Frank
"I have really enjoyed your piano music. You
can really feel the emotion and care that you have put into your
music. I think it's amazing that some pianist's music can just grip you
so. You have that talent mastered. I have 3 of your CD's and love
them all. Thanks Again." - Tracee
"I LOVE your
music. You're such a HUGE inspiration to me. I remember the first day I listened to a few of your pieces. I
was in awe. I read your testimony and I couldn't help but admire you and your
music even more. I'm a sophmore in
college and taking private lessons on piano. I've been spreading your name around
school like fire. Last semester I had 5 others playing your piece "The Gift".
It's my favorite. I LOVE "Home". I played it for my church one Sunday. I told
the congregation about your website and that they could go hear your music on
your site and how your pieces have made me such a better musician and Christian.
I'd really love to meet you one day and hear your play! Thank you so much for
your music...and your words, and for your amazing talent." - Jamie
"I listened to your music for
the very first time today. I happened to be surfing the net for Yanni concerts
coming soon to my area when I accidentally hit a link. Not an accident at all I
believe now. I am a mother of two and live in the small town of Baldwin,
Wisconsin and have been feeling the strains of daily life. I have been needing
some inspiration and I found it today… I feel so calm, relaxed and inspired to
do great things, all this from my time listening to your music. Your music is
so very beautiful I can feel it deep within my soul. Thank You. I thank
God for individuals like yourself that use your talents so wisely and share your
beauty with others..." - Roni
"My
youngest son Daniel (12) has been playing piano since he
was 4. He was struggling to stay motivated with his old
piano teacher. About 6 months ago we moved him to a new
teacher to try to rekindle the passion he once had for playing
piano.... I told Daniel about your music and he wanted
to hear it. I streamed a few of my favorites and he absolutely
loved it! I went to your website and we purchased and
downloaded a sheet music package that had 4 of your songs he
really enjoyed. Daniel has been working on “Light” for
the last 3 weeks and he’s nailed it. It’s an impressive
piece that he loves to play for others. He’s just beginning
to work on “The Kindness of Strangers” and he’s excited to play
again. Thanks for helping me bring the love and appreciation
of fine music back into my sons life." - Alvin
"I've been hearing your songs quite frequently on Soundscapes and they
always catch my attention, even when I'm in another room. Nice
work. - Wayne Gratz,
Narada Recording Artist.
"I need to thank you for your songs. I dont believe you'll
quite understand the meaning of this, but since my best friend died I couldn't feel much about life. Your songs have brought me back
the will to carry on and I am really gratefull for that." - Roger
"Your music is
soooooooooooooooo awesome. I listen
to
your music practically everday and I bought some of your sheet music
and
practice every day. I love how you are so into God and worship Him. He has given you so much skill on the piano. When I
listen to
your music it makes me think of how awesome God is and how awesome
His
Creation is." - Christopher
"Hello
there! I just wanted to say how much I love and appreciate your
music. It creates a fantastic feeling and atmosphere, it is
flawless and there is one word that can definately describe
it--beauty. You can really tell that you put your entire
soul into creating these brilliant and tender pieces, I will
never get tired of them. Thank you for sharing them with
us!" - Alisa
"I just wanted to thank you for being that inspiration that finally pushed me
into realizing my dream. I am 38 years old and have always wanted to play the
piano but just never made it a top priority. After reading the book "Purpose
Driven Life" It occured to me that I am supposed to be using my talent to
glorify God somehow. I have a good ear for music and have always been able to
pick out a tune and repeat it on the keyboard, but have never read music.
Anyway, now that I have cleaned up my life ( drugs, alcohol, etc...) and bugun
my walk with Jesus, I am
serious about my destiny. I am taking lessons from the lady that plays for our
church and I have never felt more satisfied in any other endevour. One night I
was surfing the internet for piano music and stumbled on to your website.
Hearing you play almost brought tears to my eyes (I am not one to cry). Since
then I have had a very clear vision of how I want to play. I know there is music
trying to get out of me, but until I heard you play I didn't know how it should
sound. Now here is the last little amazing part to my story. A few months ago I
was at the Valley River Center Mall in Eugene, OR. just hanging with my wife as
she shopped. I heard someone playing piano in the center court, so I went to
listen. I sat at a distance and watched this man play for a long time ( first
time my wife was ready to leave the mall before me). It was absolutely beautiful
the way he played and sounded familiar. The other day I was looking at your
website and I went to the section that shows where you are playing. Once I saw
that you play at the Valley River Center a lot, it hit me like a ton of bricks;
that was you. I downloaded the sheet music for your version of "Silent Night "
and I have made it my goal to play that song in church by Christmas. I know with
God's help and your inspiration I will do that and more. Just wanted to say
thank you. " - Gary
"I have been playing piano
for about 10 years now. I have never had a piano
lesson and everything I know is self taught. I have a deep love of piano music.
The very first piece I learned how to play was Dancing on the Berlin Wall by
David Lanz. My parents loved his piano music and they owned all of his CDs. One
day I was surfing the internet trying to find new age piano sheet music and I
came across your website. I listened to several songs (the first one be The
Vigil and then A Turn To Grace). I wondered why it had taken me so long to find
your music. I own every single one of your CDs now and I have downloaded every
single piano piece you have for sheet music. You music is so moving and I feel
like you have mastered the art of telling a story...through music. Now, I do
really enjoy David Lanz's music but I have never felt such compassion and
feeling in any piano music until I started playing your music. I want to thank
you for providing people like me with a source of sheet music." - Daniel
"My son is SO excited to hear you in person. I must tell you this -- he
is studying your music now with his piano teacher. He seems
to connect so much to your music -- and this is no small feat -- he is a video
game crazed 15-year-old who listens to Eminem and Metallica! Yet, when he plays
the songs I have downloaded from you, I see him love what he is playing and he
goes from one to the other. We are very much looking forward to hearing you."
- Stephanie
"Thank you for your two CD’s, “The Vigil” and “Sweet Dreams And Starlight.” They
are absolutely breath-taking. I experienced something inside your music that the
heart has never touched as deeply. Even my seven-year old foster child, who is diagnosed with severe autism
sat with the headsets on for hours listening to your overwhelming piano while
rubbing his small knees. Your music must have tapped profoundly into his
young mind, something so special that we as clinical adults, still cannot fully
understand. The more intense the music, the further it seems to bring him out us his
cold, silent world and into the warm sunshine of life. Your compositions are a
helping, definitive antidote. Thanks man. I bought this music selfishly for
myself, never knowing how much it would reflect onto him." - Trevor
"I just wanted to say thank you. You have brought piano music back
into my 14 year old son's life. When I heard your music and printed out some
songs for him that I thought he might like, he loved them immediately and went
back to the piano to play again -- something he hasn't done in over a year. He
has been playing piano since he was 5 years old and is quite gifted. But last
year, he and his piano teacher reached an impasse and my son, Chris, just quit
playing the piano and walked away from it all. For one year, I missed hearing
music in my house. The minute I heard your music, I knew it was a style of sound that would
connect with his soul. He learned Solitude within 2 days and has almost
memorized Racing the Northern Lights. Thanks for giving me back my son,
and giving him back his first
love, music." - Stephanie
"I had the wonderful pleasure of hearing you
play at
the Valley River Center Mall in Eugene and I was simply
amazed. Your music is beautiful and touching. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely gift
with all
of us that were in the mall that day. I cried and I am sure others
did as
well.
Again, thank you for your sweet, precious gift.
I will never forget that experience." - Debbie
"I am writing to say thank you for your music, your
honesty,
and sharing about your walk with God...
I'm sitting here listening to your music and weeping in relief and joy.
The past few weeks have been a time of turmoil for me, and I have
been
seeking peace. It seemed like no matter what I did/prayed/cried that
there were no answers.This afternoon I cried out to God to let me
know
He loves me and is with me while I am stumbling. After I came home
from taking care of my parents, I got online and automatically
started
listening to your music.
But it was the first time that I had actually read most of what is on
your site. When I read the Mission Statement and clicked on peace of
mind, I was startled to see this about Jesus, " ..he is the focal
point of all God is doing in terms of restoring you back to a right
relationship with Him."
I deeply believe that God
spoke to me through your words. I feel restored and loved and very
grateful!
Thank you, Mr. Nevue, for being a part of God's plan for me. And I
hope that doesn't sound too strange, but I know in my heart that God
meant for me to hear your music which led me to your words--and led
me
to His.
God Bless You!" -
Donna
"I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your time (playing
the piano) tonight. My wife and I were so blessed and ministered to by
you and we left after purchasing three of your CD's. I am writing
because as we read together your Overcome liner
notes, we wept. We were in pursuit of some worship music for our 15 year old son whom we just found out is struggling with depression.
God led us to you and we just
want to thank you. Allready our son in just a few minutes of listening has remarked that you MUST
love Jesus and that your piano work is beautiful, He is going to read through your
Overcome notes and listen to your CD's tonight. In our
Precious Lord, we thank you" - Fred
"Thank you for inviting us into your home last night for another wonderful house
concert. Your music compositions warm the air and free the soul to accept the
truth in a gentle and loving trust bonding performer and listener in a special
embrace which honors both you and the Holy Spirit. The works of love are of
great value to us, your music and your words are remembered. Yes, you are remembered, don't ever
forget your importance to the world as a musician and teacher." - Martin
"I am 22 years old and am
also a pianist...
I took lessons from age 4 to 13,
until moving away from my piano teacher. I continued to "teach myself", playing
in a local church/drama troop, high school choir, and accompanying various other
musicians and vocalists.... In July 2003, I became a
quadraplegic as the result of a traumatic cervical spinal injury. I initially
lost the use of my hands, something I was told I may never overcome. Of all
that I lost in the accident, I could not bare to lose my ability to play the
piano. I remained
hospitalized for more than eight months, working my fingers each day. Slowly, I
regained some use. My doctor assured me that if it was at all possible for me
to play again, I would - my fingers were familiar with the keys and would "know
what to do." While in rehab, I searched the web
for downloadable sheet music and came across your website. "Solitude" caught my
eye as something I might be able to play. I worked at it for many months and I
still remember how happy I was when I succeeded. I have since then regained
almost total use of my fingers. I am so blessed! I am captivated by your music -
the emotion in each song. It speaks to me and sends shivers down my spine. I
just wanted to thank you for your talent and to let you know how your music has
forever touched my life."
- Lyndsey
"I am 48 years old and just now
taking my long deferred dream of playing the piano. I began lessons about eight
months ago. The more I learn and practice the more I want to learn… I yearn to
be able to play. I was searching the internet for
practice techniques (to supplement my rigid but solid, instructor’s methods) and
came across your website. I was reading with interest your Advice for Players…
when I inadvertently clicked on your song, Ascending With Angels, and I wept. I
then listened to ALL of your songs (and ordered your CD’s!) Your talent is
beyond words. Thank you for the pianistic and spiritual inspiration."
- Phyllis
"I am a Concierge at Park Central Condominiums in Atlanta Georgia.
I just love your music and I play it for the residents during my shift...I have received some many wonderful compliments about your
music. It definitely creates a wonderful ambience for the lobby. I am much
happier and perform my duties with a much brighter disposition because of your
music, not that my disposition wasn't good prior to becoming a
listener, but it makes a difference to me, the residents, and guests that come
to building." - Pamela
"I find your music absolutely inspirational. I am only sixteen years
of age
but thrive to make the creations you
do.
You have summed up my simple range of emotions and passions with each
of
your pieces. You are a role model to me. I love your
dramatic peaks
that come back in each piece; it makes my heart skip a beat and
convinces me
to stay at my keyboard for long hours of the day just to imitate the
sound I
hear. I just want to
let you
know how much you inspire me. There are hardly any words to sum up
the
emotions I feel as I hear your music."
- Alasha
"I wanted to say that I enjoy your music very much.....Your music allows
me to reconnect with the Lord and it strengthens my faith. It has been your
music that has inspired me to begin playing again. I am learning
your song The Gift. I am 36 and I have a lot of work ahead in getting my sight
reading and fingering skills back, but I know I will enjoy it. Thank you
for sharing your gift and making it available to others." - Rick
"One day when I
was playing with my oldest child, the most beautiful song I'd ever heard began
playing on Soundscapes. The song touched me in a way that I can't describe. A few days
later, the song came on again and I rushed to write the name "One Night at
Mozart's" and David Nevue. I wanted to own the entire CD and sent my friends and
family on a mission to find it. It got to the point at home that no matter which one
of your songs came on, as long as I was in listening range, I could identify it
as your work. Words alone can't
describe your music. I don't just listen to your music, I feel it in my heart
and soul. I don't know if you believe in coincidence
or not, but I quite recently I've found myself wanting to have a closer
relationship with God. When I entered your website and read your quote,
mission, etc. I knew that someone more powerful than myself was leading me to
you. Thank you so much for sharing your
talent with the world." - Holly
"Many nights I fall asleep
with the headphones on listening to 'Whisperings.' I recently went through one
of those life-altering events that leaves one in the depths of despair, and
unsure if I really wanted to come out of it. Your music was my escape and 'The
Vigil' always makes me smile." - Lorie
"...after hearing the first few seconds of "Be
Thou My Vision," you had my complete attention. I have been inspired not only
by the beautiful sounds you have combined with a classic hymn, but also by your
spiritual faith... I was deeply affected by your Mission Statement
and I was encouraged more with every paragraph I read. I was moved to tears
many times, while reading the salvation message you published on the site.
Thank you for listening to your heart, and accepting a greater call; I was just
writing to say that your seeds are not all falling on hard ground." - David
"I have been listening to LIVE 365 Internet radio and your name keeps
coming
up again and again when I hear something I like. I just browsed your
web
site and I want to thank you for being forthright about your
relationship
with God. Thank you for expressing your heart through the piano.
Others of
us who aren't able to express ourselves this way, are able to
experience a
closeness to God through your music." - Lisa
"I write this letter because I have to tell you
how I feel about your music
which truly is of a very special kind....You have to know that it has become a very
important thing in my life and that it is always with me in my heart. Your
music is so full of life, so honest, that it touches me fairly deep inside.
For me it has become like a trusted friend. It feels like if you´ve put things into melodies
that I couldn´t even get into words. It often consoled me when
I was sad and calmed me when I had fear. It nearly seems that I am
acquainted with you although we´ve never met so far. It's
the most beautiful piano music I've ever heard." - Claudia
"Your music sings to me. That's why I bought your 7 CD
collection. I
read your mission and felt "called" to keep listening. I'm inspired
to
share with you that your work goes deeper than the mere ear. It
penetrates the soul. And for that I am grateful." - Kim
"I want to start out by thanking you for your touching music. But more than
that; I want to thank you for the guidance that your music has provided me with.
I am also a pianist, at least I like to think I am. My abilities are quite
limited, but I just have this huge craving to express the musical thoughts that
flow through my mind every minute of every day. You music has helped me a lot in
this way: Not only does it inspire me to expand my abilities, but it also allows
me to express myself through listening. This is something that I never knew to
be possible before, but listening to your music allows me to focus on music and
my spirituality in such a way that it somehow gives me a feeling of
accomplishment. I am 18 years old and have a form of Spina
Bifida which has prevented me from having a lot of experiences in my life, but I
believe that it has brought me closer to my music, and made a whole new world of
experiences. Your overwhelming faith provides optimism that good music is
provision for the soul. Please continue with your music and message of
God." - Jacob
"I happened upon your web
site purely by chance, today as I was looking for
sheet music to download. When I
heard your song, Solitude, I honestly didn’t know whether I was going to cry or
smile, it was just so beautiful. I absolutely loved it... I guess I just wanted you to know how deeply
touched your music made me feel. I hope to hear more of you in the future."
- Kristi
"Your
music is great... it inspires me to dream and dream...travels
me into unknown places but so familiar at the same time..."
- Kat
"To most others this would sound crazy, but
you've
done more for my faith in a few short weeks than anyone (with the
exception
of my wife, who teaches bible study to children) that I've known in
music
since I started. You're on the right path, and I'm here to help
acknowledge
it. The time has come for me to get off of the fence...." - Eric
"I've recently been introduced to your music and it captivated me to say the
least. I relish in it. It is absolutely magical, beautiful music. Thank you..."
- Tam
"My wife & I just found out the house we were about to buy & move into is not going to happen. It took
too long to close & the seller accepted another cash offer. Anyhow,
my wife was very distraught as we unpacked all of our
belongings & moved back in.... I sat her down with a
glass of wine & popped in your CD. We embraced for a minute or so & listened to the music. The song was
so beautiful & refreshing. I grabbed the CD cover to see that we were
listening to "No More Tears". How perfect a song for the moment. Thank you for
being there! with us, if only in spirit!" - Joe
"Thank you Mr. Nevue for your wonderful and soothing
music. My faith in the Lord is the only thing that has kept the wind in
my sails since my husband was deployed to Iraq eight months ago. Your
music touched my heart and renewed my spirit one evening when I was
reading to my oldest daughter. We have two year old twins, along with
my older children, all who enjoy the tranquility your music brings." -
Karen
"I stumbled on your advice to piano players and was really impacted by
the
words on the screen. I can relate to your experience because I was
taught
the basics by someone who plays wonderfully and expresses himself
through
the piano but cannot sight read. He also constantly listens to music
on tape
or CD and plays them out just the way you describe. What is
interesting to
me is that the process you described shows that mastering the art of
playing
by the ear may not always just be about a natural gift but rather a
skill
that needs to be worked at (or developed) just like sight reading
and every
other endeavour in life. Thank you for offering these few words of
advice to
people like me." -
Sola
"Your music is absolutely fantastic. Your songs have the ability to reach down and touch one's soul. I absolutely
love listening to your music.... God has truly blessed you. It is wonderful to see you use what
wonderful gifts He has bestowed upon you. It helps us, everyday folk, to
sit back and listen to music like yours. It absolutely relaxes,
soothes, and heals me." - Robert
"Beautiful...
your music is so very beautiful and blessed! Thank you for making me feel at ease. During this time of my mom's illness, I do need a way to relax and I thank
you for giving me a way to do so. God bless you!" - Kim
ve with you and your music. I have always listened to George Winston, but you take my breathe away. I know this
is God drivin. Thank you for coming into my life...." - Carol
"Thank you for such a high quality product and integrity as an artist. My wife is playing your CD at the office
(property management). Needless to say, your influence is far reaching. Sometimes it get a little insane in there.
There have been many very positive remarks on the quiet sounds from your piano." - Steven
"I love your music. When I was purchasing the sheet music I read some information about you. I find it
interesting how you feel about music. Knowing and understanding it is God given. It is a gift from Him. There aren't many people
in the world today who would give Him credit. I feel the same way about my ability to play and express myself with
the piano. I believe a reason to be why God put me on this earth is to tell others about Him. I like the fact that
you use your music to do this. I admire that! Again, thank you for sharing your personal/private piece of music
with me." - Amanda
"When angels play for God, they play Bach; but when they play for pure pleasure, they play David Nevue. 'Big
Snow in Salzburg' is the purest and simplest of melodies. I close my eyes and I can see snowflakes falling. It's
so cold but the music heats my heart and soul. When I hear David's compositions, I feel that if people exist who
can transmit so many emotions and such sensitivity in simple notes, then there is still hope for humanity. I don't
have words to describe what I feel when listening this music, it is something ethereal, inexplicable, divine. I
don't have the words to explain such great emotion!" - Airina
"Your music heals my heart. I have been suffering depression for long time
and the music you play has soul in it and comforts me so magically. I just want to say thank you. You've saved
me. Please continue to let your feelings and soul show in your music. I can feel it." - Pai
"'Whisperings' is a 'best of' collection of fifteen piano solos from David Nevue's first four albums (1985-2000)
and two previously unreleased pieces. Nevue's playing and composing styles are pensive and deeply
personal, but communicate clearly to the listener in a gentle musical language. Often thoughtful and introspective,
Nevue's work tends to be positive without being sugary, and reflects the strength as well as the surrender of profound
faith. Nevue occasionally polls his listeners from his website about what their favorite pieces are, and such a
poll was done to help in the selection of which pieces to include in this collection (similar polls are done from
time to time to help decide which pieces to release in sheet music form). The four albums that are represented
are 'The Tower' (1992), 'While the Trees Sleep' (1995), 'The Last Waking Moment' (1997), and 'The Vigil' (2000).
Although the pieces are not in chronological order, it is very interesting to hear how this artist has developed
over the years. Most of the selections are original compositions, but a few are arrangements; those are 'A Turn
to Grace,' which evolves into a lovely setting of 'Amazing Grace,' 'I Wonder As I Wander' by John Jacob Niles,
and the classic hymn 'Be Thou My Vision.' A few of my own favorites are 'No More Tears,' 'The Vigil,' 'Psalm 77,'
'Ascending With Angels,' and 'The Night Season.' If you are new to David Nevue's work, this is an outstanding introduction.
If you have his previously released albums, this is a really nice 'cream of the crop' collection. 'Whisperings'
is available from davidnevue.com and amazon.com." - Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications
"I was searching the net looking for info on playing the piano "by ear" when I just happened onto
your site. First off, let me say I was captivated by your playing style...absolutely beautiful! But, the thing
that really struck my heart and made me want to drop you a line is what I read in
your bio about how you play. I was so happy to hear that there are other people out there that can play "by
ear" and not "by sight"! I am one of those "by ear" people and for many, many years (well,
actually until today when I read your bio!) I have always thought that there was something wrong with me...I had
pretty much given up on playing because, although it brings me joy to play, it also brought me frustration to think
that I had this strange "half talent" like nobody I had ever met before...until I read about you. Now
I have a renewed interest in my ability and will joyfully return to the keyboard and celebrate music the way God
has designed it into me! Thank you so much for your website and for the inspiring information and beautiful music
in it!" - Deb
"I recently purchased your latest CD (Postcards from Germany) & absolutely love it! My favorite to add
to your talley is "In God's Hands". The whole thing is quite the collection of emotion, as well as fantastic
piano skills....thanks for the wonderful 'ear candy'!" - Joe
"Refreshingly pure in sound. There is so much 'noise' out there in today's music, it is wonderful to hear
the simple beauty in music again. Healing for the soul. Thank you." - Ray
"I've emailed you a couple of times, but I didn't really expect you to answer, but you did and I really appreciate
that! I'm 14 years old and I love the piano...When I first stumbled onto your web site I thought you were a long
haired guy like Yanni or something, but it turns out you're a regular guy with a great relationship with God and
no ego. Thank you so much for your time. Keep your faith in God and keep writing songs." - Molly
"Your music is wonderful and makes the listener think and dream about the world's beautiful places and secrets."
- Sergiu
"Greetings...the music from David Nevue was awesome. My heart filled up listening to "No More Tears."
I just blessed another birthday without my sweet son who passed by suicide 3 years ago - he would have been 25
last week. How incredible this earth journey is - full of so much joy & heartache...I struggle with much and
exactly what I need to hear comes at just the right moment on the right day!! Blessings..." - Karen
"Thank you for the wonderful music! Please don't misunderstand when I say it makes me cry. Sometimes I just
can't hold back tears because it
is so beautiful." - Theresa
"I am a fifteen year old missionary kid in Ireland. I just want to say that your music is the most beautiful
music I have ever heard. I have grown up in Ireland and I have never heard the Irish Hymn "Be Thou My Vision"
so nicely arranged and played. God has certainly blessed you in giving you a talent like that. Keep up the good
work!!!!!!" - Kelly
"I just wanted to let you know that I played your piece 'Solitude' for an offertory last Sunday morning...
I had several people come up to me and comment on how beautiful that piece was and I told them about you and your
website. I can't wait for you to put some new sheet music out. Thank you so much for sharing your music."
- Jane
"I was exploring the net one morning and came upon your web site. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia,
a very painful disease. I downloaded one of Your songs, and I have to say the music was so soothing, it actually
helped my pain. Your music is not only heart-touching, but very addicting! ... Your music is a gift to this world!
Thank you for Your gift of music!" - Mimi
"I love music and am a supreme Jim Brickman fan, so much so that I have tickets to see him three times in
Dallas next weekend. Don't tell Jim but when I heard your music I actually thought 'this guy's better than Jim
Brickman!' The reason, I think, is that you are playing with your heart and soul and you have a 'mission' to reach
people and to lead people to Christ through your music. It shows, it leaps out in your music....I've ordered all
seven of your CD's and can't wait to get them. Please keep the faith and keep on keeping on. You are doing an awesome
work. God Bless You." - Melanie
"I was led to you tonight. I needed to hear your music and know of your faith. I have been struggling with
my faith. Thank you for being there for me tonight. Your music has created a peaceful feeling in my soul. Your
words have soothed me. May God continue to bless you." - Melanie
"Of all the contemporary composers I have found on mp3.com - you are the best... in many ways, lets see here,
melodically, harmonically, temporally, everything....your talent seriously, seriously dwarfs that of all of those
other composers (Mitchell, Bagno, Cortazar, Galloway, Spaeth, even Schmidt) - sorry if any of them are one of your
buds, but their music kinda stinks, (in my opinion)..." - Lane
"I am writing to not only tell you about my enjoyment of your music, but of an inspiration that you have given
me....I am currently ministering to a handful of teenagers, that interestingly enough, WERE all very strong in
the faith. Over the past year or so, they have all lost their faith, and claim to not believe in God. The latest
curiousity is a young man that was fully loving God and Jesus...He then returned to school, and came home one day
denying the existence of God... Fortunately, he is a VERY smart young man, and is approaching all of this as an
intellectual excercise....Anyway, my insight came when I saw your song title "Deep Heaven (for C.S. Lewis)".
I am now hoping that I can use the works of this great man as a tool to rekindle the faith in these fine young
people. Thank you, and praise God for the awesome way He speaks to us." - Bob
"I must say I find your music inspiring to dream, wonderful to listen to. It is a journey that ends too soon
and I just love the way you paint pictures in someone's mind. Thank you very much" - Roland
"David Nevue has a wonderful way of taking a simple melody line and filling it with meaning. His elegant playing
style is never overly showy, preferring a direct and honest approach over showmanship. Nevue¹s compositions
and interpretations are deeply personal as well as spiritual and inspirational...His music is so heartfelt and
sincere that not a note seems out of place." - Kathy Parsons / Solo Piano Publications
"I came across your website quite by accident through following a link from another website. I have been deeply
moved listening to a number of the compositions. They are so refreshing and soothing to the soul. I was also blessed
to read your testimony and how you view your talent as a gift from God to make Him known and to draw people closer
to Him. May the Lord continue to enrich your music ministry as you endeavor to lift up the name of Jesus Christ.
Be encouraged!!" - Lorin
"I am a Kenyan Pastor...I really loved your music and I have tried to get it in the book shops here but in
vain, I hope I will be able to get it upon my arrival (in the U.S.) this summer. You are one of the greatest piano
players I have met. Your music is so annointed. I will always pray for you. Keep on winning." - Daniel
"Thank you for publishing your great arrangements and compositions. As a freelance harpist in Minneapolis
Minnesota, I truly have enjoyed playing your song “Home”. During the Christmas season, just for a change of pace
I would bring out “Home”. It was exciting to see people stop, listen motionless to this song!! This Sunday I am
planning to attend the local chapter of the American Harp Society, and I will share this great song with the harpist
at this meeting. I know they too will be requesting this song from you. Many of your songs as I listen to them
will work on the harp – so I look forward to buying your latest sheet music releases!!" - Jane
"I just can't tell you how proud I am of you and how much you are a hero/role model for me. How very excellent
you are with the gifts our Lord have given you. You are lifting people's spirits every where. My grandmother, who
had surgery last October and has been mostly in bed recovering has enjoyed your music immensely. Thank you for
helping us through a trying time. " - Jenn
"I meant to tell you how much I liked your wonderful new Christmas album! It's just superb--and everyone who's
heard it thinks so too....My ex's wife doesn't like anything remotely 'religious' (and anything that has to do
with hymns turns her off!), but she loved your Christmas CD!...It really is 'any time' music, David. You succeeded
in making an album that's very special Christmas music, but that also can be listened to at any time of the year.
I played it on New Year's Eve, repeatedly, when I had a Russian couple visiting me--and they commented on what
lovely music I had playing for our get-together!...thank you for all the time and love you put into it--well, your
whole heart...Know that your music is doing something for peace as we head into 2003..." - Lynn
"I love your CD (O Come Emmanuel). I mean love. We've listened to it all month and I am so impressed with
the sincerity and sensitivity that is imbued in it, especially when considered against 99% of commercial Christmas
music. I tend to get a little blue (a la Charlie Brown) from all the stress of the season and your CD is the perfect
remedy for it. You've created a gift for the rest of us, and I thank you for it." - Mary
"After a grueling day’s travel back home today, I put in your CD and pulled up your website. Now I know exactly
why I was so drawn to your music. It’s Christ-centered, and Christ-motivated...Thank you for your love of, and
life in Christ....Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s touching lives. God bless you." - Robin
"I've been enjoying some of your tracks for a long time. I especially enjoy "Postcards from Germany".
It is a favorite of my girlfriend and I...wanted to say I love your music. It is some of the most original piano
music I've heard, and you play wonderfully with superb sensitivity." - Len
"Well, all I can say is you are very talented. In my honest opinion i've never in my live heard such beautiful
music before. Working in an Record store, I've listened to "great" pianists, but to their demise I've
heard someone that tops them. The songs I listened to on MP3.com were absolutely wonderful. I wish you the best
and hopefully soon i'll see your CDs in our shipments." - Jeremy
"I just had to email you to say how much your piano playing has affected me, you play so naturally and so
full of expression and feeling, you are the best piano player I have heard, and believe me, I've heard lots of
players, but none so as expressive as you are. Your talent is up there with the very best...brilliant stuff...."
- Lawson
"Your musical artistry is so inspiring. I have such a passion for the piano and you have helped to rekindle
my desire to play. Thank you." - Lynde
"Oh my....what a BEAUTIFUL CD this is!! (O Come Emmanuel) I'm only on track 6 (I had to listen to track 3
"Watching Their Flocks" twice -- it's truly wonderful!). The artwork and design/layout of the insert
is VERY nice. I love the simplicity and purity of it....You have a loving and caring heart and I see it in so many
ways...very much so in your music" - Rhonda
"I found your page on mp3.com and wanted to let you know that your music is very beautiful. I especially liked
Psalm 77 and One
Night at Mozart's. You have a great gift." - David
"I appreciate your site, your talent, your words of wisdom. I'm more and more impressed by those of you who
have excelled in your music to God's glory, yet aren't caught in all the trappings of the "Christian Music
Industry." You are probably reaching more people with gospel truth than many with Dove Awards and big contracts,
and for that I heartily commend you." - Hugh
"I am so glad I found you while searching for easy christian music....Your stlye of playing the piano was
so refreshing to my ears; similar to the way David used to play his psalty to calm Saul at times, and bring a healing
comfort to the soul. Keep up the good work, in 'Praising our Lord and Savior'!" - Pamela
"I am sitting here listening to one of your CDs and I just have to tell you how your music makes me feel.
I have such a sense of peace that comes over me I can't explain. You have such a gift!!!" - Kathy
"I just discovered your music yesterday...and it feels like I've been awake all my life...and I can finally
sleep....dream...I'm not going to describe to you what your music did, does, and will always do to me...it's the
fantasy world I've always searched for in my mind, I know finally now that you've known it too." - Jinan
"Musically and spiritually, I am blessed and encouraged each time I listen to your work, which is quite frequently.
I share you and your work with friends every chance I get... I hope to one day meet you and / or witness a live
performance, but if not, it will be even better in the Heavenly performance hall!" - Dan
"Thanks for your music, which touches my heart deeply and expresses my gratefullness to the Lord." -
Emily
"I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I enjoy your CD's. I am a Massage Therapist and I
love piano music. My husband is always looking for me new piano music that is not "new age" sounding.
When my husband found your web site we listened to some of your songs and knew that I should get them. I put them
all in the CD player at my massage office and program the ones to play that are softer for the massage. I have
had several of my clients ask me who the music is by and I always direct them to your web site. I am also telling
all my Massage Therapist friends. Your music is inspiring." - Haylie
"We listened to alot of your music last night during dinner. It was wonderful. Just one of those evenings
when its cold outside and raining and we had the fireplace going and some beautiful piano music on the stereo.
Thanks again." - Michael
"You are a great inspiration to me....Several months ago, I downloaded a few free mp3's of yours, and recently
I was able to buy your set. It is exactly as I had expected. I one day hope to be able to put my thoughts, feelings
and intellectual pursuits to music as you do, for the glory of God. Thank you so much for your ministry. I wish
you the best with it and all of your endeavors." - Dan
"Formerly a rock-'n'-roller, the accomplished pianist David Nevue turned to classical music -- and you'll
be glad he did. His solo piano pieces are awe-inspiring in their elegance and beauty, where simple themes are brought
to life by complex melodies. Nevue writes from his feelings, such as in "One Night at Mozart's," which
comes from his experience of visiting Mozart's childhood apartment in Salzburg. You can listen to Nevue at MP3.com."
- My Yahoo! Daily Tip.
"I am a pianist and play every week here at Christ's Church. I happened upon your site through mp3.com and
absolutely fell in love with "Nails". In fact I played it so much last week that I was able to play it
myself and used it during our communion service yesterday. I wanted to let you know that many people loved your
piece and appreciated all the work you did on it. It is so nice to know that there are other Christians who have
a passion for good music and are able to use their gift for God's glory. May you continue in your wonderful and
much needed ministry." - Joanie
"I just recently heard several of your piano tracks, and I'm quite amazed. I've never heard anything quite
like what you play, the melodies aren't extreme or strict like classical, or excessively simple like most modern
music..." - Haplo
"I just finished listening to the collection I ordered from you and I wanted to let you know that your music
touches me... I wanted to let you know that I admire that you've been bold enough to enter your spiritual life
into your music. Unfortunately, nowadays that is dooming your financial/fame life by standing up for what you believe
in...." - Nathan
"I am a lead tenor and cantor in our Church so God has blessed me with a good ear for music. Your solo piano
albums are so beautifully arranged and your feel when playing creates a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation and
peace. Thank You and God Bless..." - Ralph
"I always love to hear you perform. Your music gives me a haunting feeling and I like that! I also sence a
sort of pain but with a happy ending to your music...Moody and haunting piano moves me so!...You're a gifted artist
and I thank you and appreciate the art that you make for all. My piano professor told me recently that *the price
of the gift...is that one must share share the gift*. Thank you for sharing." - Michelle
"...I would like to say that your music is like a breathe of fresh air. You
create such moods and feelings without trying to overcomplicate your music, its exactly what I have been searching
for..." - Jeremy
"I just wanted you to know that I listened to your music today for the first time ....it brought peace into
my room. I really loved it. Thanks." - Jen
"I just want to say again how much your music means to me. I have been playing the piano for almost nine years....I
still love the piano, but ...sometimes I just dread going to the piano to practice. I have started listing to your
music, and I believe that it has saved me from just stopping playing the piano altogether. It inspires me and lets
me know that, even though practicing can become bothersome and chore-like, I might one day be able to play music,
or maybe even write music as good as yours." - Justin
"Just purchased your "While the Trees Sleep" CD. I wanted to email you and tell you that your compositions
are beautiful. I have played the CD several times and find that each time that I play it, I pick out something
new in the music. You have an incredible style...Keep up the great work..." - Cary
"Just wanted to let you know what a great musician you are. I am ashamed to say that I've never heard of you
until I logged in mp3.com. Thank for such a beautiful music." - Omar
"Your music brings the sweetest sound! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world...." - Anonymous
"I'm from Scotland, & have been listening to some of your music from mp3.com. I just thought I'd e-mail
you to say how much I love your work. I've been looking at the interviews as well, & I see that you are a Christian.
I don't know much about you, but I hope that you will, or maybe even have had the chance to inspire people musically
and spiritually by your music." - Ross
"I enjoy your music very much, and I'm looking forward to playing the sheet music at home tonight, and perhaps
later in the year at a prayer or worship service at my Church. Keep up the great job, and I'll be collecting more
of your transcriptions as you publish them. Thanks again, and God bless you." - Steve
"I would just like to say that I am blown away by your music. I found it by accident this morning whilst surfing
the net....My wife is out at the moment but as soon as she gets in I will be discussing buying all of your CDs....
I have just read your biography and thank god that your roommate played the music that he did!" - Trevor
"I would also like to tell you that your music really does remind me of George Winston. A lot of pianist say
that there music is like George Winston, but you are the only one on the net that I have found that says this that
can actually back it up with thier work...." - David
"I just wanted to write to you to tell you that your music very much moves me...almost to tears really. You
are a wonderous talent sir!" - Sharon
"My name is Moosa and I'm 15 years old now and I'm from Iran. It's about 3 years that I'm playing the piano.
I have listened and played lots of musics (solo piano). But I have never seen any pianist or composer like you.
I played the "While the trees sleep" that was very nice. The nicest sonaten that i have ever played....Hope
you to be healthy forever." - Moosa
"This evening I was listening to your beautiful work when I heard Ascending
with Angels. I can feel the emotion in your work and I'm quite taken with
this song. Thank you for your Art." - Michelle
"I listen to your piano music almost every day at work, it is very beautiful!!! You have a very passionate
yet calming effect in your music. Much appreciated!" - Brett
"Thank you so much for your music. It is truely anointed. Thank you for loving the Lord; it comes out in your
music." - Gene
"Although I am a diehard classic rock fan. I am finding the older I get the more I like easy listening music.
Your piano songs really make me feel good. I am suffering from a bone degenerating syndrome that was accelerated
when I fell at work some six years ago. Your music helps me to relax... Thank you and keep writing this good music."
- Carl
"I am music director for a small Presbyterian church in Kentucky. I had been playing your song 'Home' on my
piano all Saturday....I decided to play it for the prelude on Sunday morning...I think every one loved it, because
you could not hear a peep as I played your beautiful song, 'Home.'...It is a very comforting song, after experiencing
a tradgedy." - Leona
"I'm blown away. Your music is amazing. Even your description of 'One Night at Mozart's' brought tears to
my eyes. Thank you for this music.... Your music has touched me and healed me in a big way - it reminded me of
who I am and who I aspire to be." - Clif
"I am so moved by your music of praise and awe. As far as I’m concerned, you have hit the nail on the head
when it comes to being an instrument of God’s peace. Thank you." - Meg
"Went to see George Winston last night. Awesome!!!!...We had the best seats in the house, middle of the first
two rows... My son was impressed but after the concert he said "It was good, but I like David Nevue's music
better." - Ed
"I am a 34 year old keyboardist that recently got back into music in my life. I really just *found* your incredible
work on mp3.com and it made me feel so inspirered! You play with such thought and emotional content. You are truly,
an Artist." - Michelle
"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Your music is the BEST!! I mean you should be famous...it`s really beautiful...
I am trying to compose piano solo melodies two but I`m using midi not a real piano since I don`t even know how

"A few days ago, my husband and I were hanging out with our two kids, and he said “Let’s listen to this new
CD you haven’t opened yet.” Anyway, my husband and I both loved it. Really, really loved it. I thought it was so
pretty, so gentle, and so introspective. I love the way the music appeals to your intelligence on one hand — it
really invites a kind of honest reflective-ness — and to your feelings on the other. For me, the music expressed
a world of warmth, beauty, love, and hope — quietly, honestly, without hype. It was gentle but not depressing in
any sense. David, it was so nice to sit playing with the kids, listening to such lovely music, as it rained and
rained outside. It made for just a perfect evening" - Mary
"I wanted to thank you for your beautiful music. I listen to it all time. I would like to learn all your songs!

a child but got away from. You are definitely an inspiration to get back into playing!!!! Thank God for talent
like yours and thank you for sharing the beauty with the world..." - Joyce

Night at Mozart's", "Racing the Northern Lights", etc, etc. I would also like to commend you for
your commitment to the Lord Jesus and giving glory to Him." - David and Rebecca
"I am so glad that I have found your music... It is so soothing to me... When I am having a not so good day,
it makes me feel Great.... Thank you for this wonderful sound.. "
"Believe me or not, but I seemingly type this message on a moistened keyboard...The tears cannot be supressed
when I listen to it. I know that the music's language is much more powerful than the words'. And as I pursue only
one ultimate goal in my life - to live the Glory of Christ Jesus out, I know that as I am far away from home and
my friends, He comforts me and speaks to me via this (sorry, there is no appropriate match in English to name its
attribute) music..." - Oleg

wonderful collection of songs!!!" - Oleg

Your music really helped, thanks a lot."

God bless you with your talents." - Stephanie

- Van
"I am a new comer to your music. I wanted to tell you how much I love it. I purchased your CD the Vigil. It
finally got here. I love it... I ordered some of your sheet music also. I love playing it.... Here in my sudivision,
people walk around in the evening. I have had to neighbor stop and ask what I was playing. They said they really
loved it. I want to thank you so much. I suffer from anxiety attacks and playing the piano helps to get rid of
it. It's a terrible feelling when it happens. I just hop on the piano bench or put my head phones on an lay and
listen to your CD. My husband really likes it too. Anyway, thank you agian. I look so forward to getting your other
CDs and somemore sheet music. God Bless you and keep you always." - Kathryn
"Your site first came to my attention when I was looking for solo piano music related to George Winston and
David Lanz....From the theory down to the sheer beauty and imagination manifested in your pieces, the quality and
richness of your music is tantamount to that of the great solo pianists we have all come to love. I am only seventeen
years old, but your music has inspired me to write my own compositions as well..." - Spike
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I LOVE THIS MUSIC! Thanks for sharing! This helps me relax before going
to bed. I play similar music during the day and it keeps me stress free. I WILL come back!" - Peggy

times, while I am writing this." - Michael

I will be humming this one at work tommorow I am sure. (if not .. I will just listen to it on my computer there
<grin>)" - William
"I can't put into words how your song "Home" touches my heart. All I can say is that it deeply moves
me...sometimes to tears. I was very pleased to see that you are a Christian too. I've been listening to "New
Age" music for years and am glad to see you doing so well in that genre with hymns. You will go far with your
God-given talent." - April

is so nice to find piano like yours. You definitely have what it takes to be national." - Jon

a car accident....He loved music with a Celtic sound....I am going to play the song at his funeral. Bless you for
these beautiful arrangements!!" - Kathleen
"First of all, let me say what an extraordinary collection of music you created on the album called "The
Vigil." I am not usually into piano music, but after hearing the title selection from the album on Atmospheres,
a station I receive on my digital satellite service, I was moved...I had to buy the album and ever since I have
received it, I have enjoyed ever moment and note of every song. You certainly captured the mood and moments during
your vigil and put them into music in such a way that is unmatched by any other piano music I have ever heard...
I look forward to purchasing more of your music and will become another of your biggest fans. God Bless you for
your talents that you have shared with the world. Your music is inspirational and wonderful." - Dennis
"Just a quick note to say that the CD we recently purchased entitled "While the Tree Sleep" is some
of the most beautiful piano music we've ever heard. Mr. Nevue is a very talented person and we appreciate him sharing
his gift with us. Thank you." - J.M. Hallowell
"Just got back home from your concert at Grace Church. It was wonderful!!! I thought the church was a perfect
setting for your music, didn't you? So glad you are willing to share your God-given talent with us....I was playing
your music one evening when my mother came into the room and said, "Who is that? That's really nice."
I told her about you, and she wanted to order your CD right on the spot! Then just this morning, I heard you were
going to be in town tonight to do a concert. I simply accepted it as a special gift to me from Him. :) I also hope
you enjoyed your short visit to north Georgia....I look forward to hearing what God is planning to do through you
in the future. God bless you!" - Kevin
"Hello. I love your music. There are no words to adequately describe the experience of listening to it. I
cannot wait to pay the $40 for all of them. I was searching for George Winston music. Is Dave Nevue a Christian?
I am. Praise the Lord!"
"Thank you SO MUCH for writing in and introducing me to your work. What amazing compositions!!!!! You are
one of the best solo piano artists I've heard yet on MP3.com, and I've heard a LOT over the past few years....Keep
up the great work!" - Darrell
"While surfing the Internet, I came in contact with your music....I like your music very much. I am absolutly
going to buy your albums. I like the way you 'play' the piano and the way you try to cover the listener with emotion.
Very well done. One thing is for sure: I like it." - kusoqi

your music.. <hugs> thank you thank you thank you!!!" - Julie

I can sit here for hours listening to it. You are truly gifted. I would love to sit and listen to you play it all
the time. You are so blessed, so truly blessed by God. Thank you for letting me listen to it." - Julie
"...I found your site while perusing the sheet music sites looking for some to download... So I looked up
your site, listened to alot of the music, and really was thoroughly moved by the sound. And I sense you have a
relationship with the Lord which makes it all the more meaningful. So, again, thank you for the help and hope you
continue to enjoy this artistic venture you are led in...." - Marcia Ostman
"Just a short note to say Thank You for allowing me to find out more about your music. I just received "Home"
and I love to play it. I'm a novice piano player, but am really enjoying it! I am looking forward to more sheet
music from your CD's. Keep 'em coming!!" - Chris
"YES!!! What a delight to listen to Be Thou My Vision. GREAT JOB!!!! It is such a pleasure to hear acoustic
piano played like that. I just happened to be out and about on MP3.com and saw you climbing the charts. Keep up
the great work! I will be downloading more to see what your other stuff sounds like!" - Kevin
"Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know your music is awesome! I am in the process of writing reviews
and stumbled across some "writers cramp". Your music was the fix. As soon as I turned on those soothing
tunes, words were flowing out of my fingers and on to the screen. Your music seems to always be the perfect cure
for powerful and dynamic thinking. You da man!" - Steve
"I received your CD today. I really like it ...I really enjoyed the fact that I didn't know where the songs
were going. I imagined some possibilities, but was surprised. That is what sets your music way above so much of
the predictable music out there today." - Ken
"Is there any way of getting a copy of the David Nevue's arrangement of "Be Thou My Vision". My
son is an avid piano player, some time in my life I would like for him to be able to play it. It is the best I
have ever heard." - Ed
"I don't know you and I have never heard your music until today when I came across it as I was browsing the
web. No, I am not a record producer. I just wanted to encourage you in your ministry. Your music is beautiful...I
don't even know why I am writing you except that I felt that you might need the encouragement to keep going!....God
bless you. Keep going brother." - Chris
"At my daughter's open house at school, my husband and I walked into the library and heard this beautiful
music playing. I inquired of the librarian who's music was being played...it was yours. She told me that she had
stumbled across your music in the same manner... I have enjoyed the first CD I purchased and have taken it to work
to share with my co-workers. I intend to purchase additional CDs--please put me on your newsletter list."
- Nanci
"This is thank you about "the Vigil " CD which I'm telling lots of my friends it's better than receiving
a full body massage while just listening....This CD is very consoling to me since I lost my mother and son Jay
in April and May of this year and there is some peace that promotes JOY while trying to relax. Once again just
wanted to say THANKS...I'm also going to order a bunch more to give out as Christmas presents. Bless you for using
your talents. REMEMBER David to P.U.S.H. - Pray Until Something Happens." - Fred
"I love your music. "The Vigil" is wonderful and I listen to it all the time. My 10 year old daughter
is in her 5th year of piano and has done very well, but I want her to be able to play music like you--beautiful
from the heart. Keep up the good work." - Kathey
"I will be purchasing more of your music in the future as I find it very relaxing and refreshing....I have
started playing the piano about 7 months ago....I hope to someday be as proficient as you are. It is a wonderful
gift to be able to sit down and play as you do.' - Chuck
"A couple of months ago I got The Tower and The Vigil, which completed my library of all your albums. I'm
am anxiously waiting for your next releases, especially the Christmas album. With your treatment of Amazing Grace
on The Vigil, I know the presentations of existing Christmas songs will be wonderful as will the new songs you
write. Best of luck, David. We are all pulling for your success in whatever areas are of interest to you. You are
already successful in your spiritual life as we know." - Wilma
"I so look forward to your mailings....My favorite songs are "Voice in the Wilderness" and "Joy"
- I loved them when I heard them in your concert and even more within the context of your album. What a great allegory!
I wanted to let you know how truly inspiring your music is and how much the spiritual quality comes through. Anyway,
I'm done gushing now." - Ronelle
"I just wanted to let you know that I received your CD today - and I've been listening to it all day. Wow.
Beautiful stuff. Congratulations on an absolutely amazing production - and an incredible talent. Makes me wish
I knew a pianist as good as yourself to collaborate with. Piano playing like that can certainly inspire me. :-)"
- Jodi
"I can scarcely tell you how pleased I am with the two albums I have--While The Trees Sleep and Last Waking
Moment. I first heard Mr. Nevue's music while on "Hold"... (how often do you really listen to "hold
music?") Anyway, I liked it so much, I called them back to find out how to learn more and got the name of
the website. Then when I got there, I found the reason for my initial reaction--it was the spirituality. I have
recommended this music to anyone who will listen and hope for the most success for David. (Also liked the fact
that he likes Pink Floyd!) Will be ordering more of his work and it will only be a matter of time until he is as
"discovered" as he wants to be. So glad I found this music." - Wilma
"I called Symantec for tech support. I was put on hold for over an hour!! During this time they played your
music. I loved it. I hung up the phone, accessed Rainmusic.com and ordered everything you offer in CD. I can hardly
wait to get....Thanks for sharing your God-given talents with us, and thanks for giving him the glory and the praise."
- Amylee
"I really admire you for being able to memorize your music, it is all so very touching, I'm listening to "While
the trees sleep" right now. There are pieces of just about every tune that bring me back to some great memories,
and even some sad memories. Your music has really touched me, and a number of my friends. Thank you for sharing
it with all of us" - Andy Blusiewicz.
"I've got it at least!It is very different from your other CDs. In fact it reflects your declared theme -
your pious moments. And as it is necessary it is calm, modest, well balanced, well composed. When you are listening
very carefully with attention to this CD then you will discover all its richness and the deep of the music. Really
every your next CD is better then the prevoius ones. For me excellent." - Witold
"Just wanted to let you know that I've been listening to the new CD (The Vigil), and LOVE it!...This is by
far your best work, so congrats, and keep it up!" - Kathy
"We played "The Vigil" while on our recent trip. An extremely pleasant listening experience. It
seems to me not only a "vigil" but a "voyage," in that this music played like accompaniment
to the countryside itself. I began to imagine that lines formed by treetops dictated its graceful movement. Relaxing
and beautiful." - Lynda
"Your music is WONDERFUL! I'm so pleased to find such talent at my fingertips *LOL*. I will be ordering a
CD for sure." - Dianne
"Just received the new CD. Everything about it is so beautiful!!! As we listen for the first time, we are
struck with the depth of feeling and lyricism that comes through. This work certainly is God-anointed. What peace.
What serenity. What beauty. God bless you richly!" - Timothy
"Hey David, great new CD (The Last Waking Moment)! You have developed a definite penmanship! meaning that
it sounds like you. That is a rarity with solo pianist. I really like it when you jump on the keys that's great!
And what you wrote about your wife's dream was a wonderful way to paint a picture about the concept of the album.
Congratulations! We love it." - Dax
"I take care of a 9 month-old baby, who just went through open heart surgery. I tried this CD with her last
night. What a difference in her fussiness. She calmed down from a kicking, screaming fit within 5 minutes of commencement
of playing this CD. This is wonderful!" - Kal
"We Just received the CD "The Last Waking Moment" yesterday. Bonnie and I like it so much that she
now wants to go out and buy a CD player for the car!!! Thanks a LOT! I detect a touch of George Winston in your
music (that's a GOOD thing, Bonnie and I love G. W.!), but for the most part, it is fresh and unique--VERY easy
to listen to!!! From now on, when I'm working on spreadsheets and junk at work, I'll be listening to your music
instead of Vivaldi." - Tom & Bonnie
