Info zu Pastoral Reflections

Die ätherische und traumhafte Anziehungskraft der Natur hat unzählige Kunstwerke inspiriert, doch die Komponistin und Instrumentalistin Jill Haley hebt ihre Inspiration auf dem Album „PASTORAL REFLECTIONS“ auf eine neue Ebene. Als Artist in Residence in den Nationalparks der USA lebt Haley mitten in der Natur und setzt deren beeindruckende Schönheit und Ruhe in Musik um, während sie ganz in sie eintaucht. So schafft sie eine Intimität und Präsenz, die die Idyllen der Pastoral verkörpert. Ihre beiden Werke auf diesem Album, National Parks Suite #1 und National Parks Suite #2, fangen die Essenz unberührter Landschaften ein, und Beethovens Pastorale-Sinfonie erinnert an den beständigen Einfluss der Natur auf die Künste.

Jill Haley
is an oboist, English horn player, pianist, and composer who has spent time as an Artist in Residence in National Parks composing and performing music while living in the park. She has been in residence at 10 National Parks and has released 12 recordings of music inspired by these places. Once the music is completed, Haley shares the pieces in concerts with videos of the images that she conveys in a musical sense through the compositions. The concerts have been performed in National Parks, Carnegie Hall, and concert series throughout the United States. The recordings have been added to playlists on hundreds of radio stations, music streaming services, and Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.

The original compositions are for piano, oboe, English horn, and guitar in a chamber setting with occasional guest instrumentalists on flute, cello, percussion, and French horn. Several pieces from various recordings have been arranged for solo oboe/English horn and orchestra; National Parks Suites #1 & 2, and The Psalm Suite which is based on nature images from the Book of Psalms. These have been performed by The York Symphony, The Yakima Symphony, Berks Sinfonietta, and the Providence Chamber Orchestra.

Haley has worked closely with producer Will Ackerman, founder of Windham Hill Records, as a guest soloist creating oboe and English horn lines for recordings done in his studio over the last 20 years, and toured nationally with the guitarist as a featured soloist. She is also one of the founders of the acoustic trio ONE ALTERNATIVE, which has performed and released many recordings. She is an artist on the Spotted Peccary label, which releases music crossing over into the ambient realm. Her third recording, Rendering Time, with musician Deborah Martin released in 2025. “Haley conveys peacefulness and serenity through long held notes and tonal rising melodies. She has excellent breath control and the warmth of her tone, especially on the English horn, is inviting.” – Megan Woodward, The International Double Reed Journal

“Jill Haley makes music for those quiet moments, drifting her oboe, Cor Anglais and piano melodies in those liminal spaces between night and day, wakefulness and dreams.” – John Diliberto, Echoes Radio Program
