I have played the piano and organ for 37 years. Two years ago an embolic stroke took my ability to play. I sat at the piano day after day picking out the simplest of songs because I was determined to get back there again. I found this piece and promised myself that one day I would play it. My left hand will never be as strong as it used to be and I may not be able to tackle Rubenstein, Chopin, Lanz, Yanni or Jennifer Thomas smoothly like I once did, but being able sit and play it at a slower pace still brings me joy.
Your comment is so sweet, and meant a lot to me. It makes my heart happy to know you have used my song to learn and help you regain strength. ❤️🥰 I wish you all the very best!! - JT
Hello Jennifer, When my pain levels are off the chart and has become to much, I lye down in my bed, pillow under my knees. Put on my headphones and play your music and let the music relax my brain and close my eyes and let your music take me out of my body and a journey and forgetting about the pain for a while. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'll keep praying you come to Wisconsin for a concert. The Crystal Grand in Wisc Dells would be a awesome location.
I love classical music and used to play Chopin, Lizst, Beethoven... BUT Ms Jennifer Thomas' Illumination is so captivating and magnetizing, I wish my fingers were still nimble to be able to play her composition par excellence.
Jenifer I searched for almost two year trying to find out where this beautiful music could be found. Heard it as background several times. Finally heard it on Pandora and rushed to see the artist. And there you were. Every time I hear Illumination or Secrets, brings tears to my eyes. I am an engineer and retired chemistry teacher.sound
You have given sound to the magnificence I see in Calculus, in science, Creation of the elements and in God's greatest work of art human kind. Thank you! You have touched my heart.
Wow! At 81 years of age I assumed I had listened to every type of music available. Young lady, you have introduced to me such exciting music, sounds, rhythms with the musicians and chorus which I found to be amazing. I may be one of your oldest fans. I enjoy your performances and play the CDs often. God bless you. e.conboy
That would be an incredible idea! I don't know if it will ever happen, right now it's virtually impossible to record choirs due to covid, But I love that idea!
A GOOD, HEALTHY AND FULFILLING NEW YEAR 2019 my dear friend Jemmifer. Love and peace for all people in this world ... Hugs from Switzerland, your friend Hans-Peter
Jennifer it's a beautiful Performance by all and an example to put fire within in an enlightening experience for an epic Melody. Thank you. Happy Holidays and Blissful upcoming year 💒✨🌟
What an exciting spectacle! An ingenious composition performed in an irresistibly dynamic way and brilliantly backed up by a majestic choir. Jennifer is without a doubt one of the greatest musical multitalents of our time!
Happy New Year Jennifer. Thank you for all that you have given to your YT audience. You talents on the piano never cease to amaze me. This song is the perfect composition for the end of 2018.
Love this - really epic cinematic sound, must have been very powerful heard live with the orchestra and choir, you can never reproduce that properly on a recording. I would really like to ask your advice (briefly) as a successful artist in this genre if that would be OK? How could I message you there is no option on here?
Damn! Chills. So beautiful

AT 2:15 it would have been dope if you carried the melody line of the Hymn " Abide with me" I can hear there! Oooh 🔥 📛 👨🚒 🚒 🧯

Gosh, THANK YOU so much! That really made my day. Your words are very kind, and appreciated. I'm so happy you finally found the song too! ☺️
PS: I offer my assistance free of charge as these students are on the tightest of budgets.
Chills listening to this! Wish the camera could’ve focused more on the keyboard ;)
Bravo and Bravissimo... BEAUTIFUL... PERFECT...

Jennifer, do you ever think about releasing this version with the orchestra and chorus as a "special edition"? It's so incredible!
That would be an incredible idea! I don't know if it will ever happen, right now it's virtually impossible to record choirs due to covid, But I love that idea!

Glad you liked the choir additions - thank you!!
It adds an epic Lord-of-the-Rings feel to the already broad symphonic sound base. It's fantastic, Jennifer!
Jennifer,Thanks for sharing this piece.Brilliant 💎 Enlightening!🌟 Good Luck and Happy New Year 2019!
Aw thank you, happy New year!

Absolutely love this piece, but, in my opinion the choir overshadowed Jennifer and the orchestra.
She is a composer. Not necessarily a pianist. Arpeggiations aren't that impressive, but her music is!
