In The Night Hours – Piano Instrumental

“In the Night Hours” is a contemplative, relaxing piano instrumental composed by Fred McKinnon.   This episode is #84 of the “Worship Interludes Podcast” which is an instrumental podcast for prayer, meditation, and relaxation.   This piece is in the key of G-minor and has a beautiful, yet haunting melody.

Personally, I’ve been battling bronchitis and a low-grade fever this week.   As a result, I’ve been pretty tired and some of the medicine has kept me up at night.  Because of this, I’ve felt pretty tired and somewhat uneasy.  I’ve always disliked the way I feel on certain medications and look forward to being free of this infirmity.

Sitting down in the studio today,  this opening theme came to me immediately.   I loved the way it moves up and down and has a diminished chord that adds a bit of tension and helps translate the uneasy emotions I’ve felt this week.

My hope is that as you listen you will be able to relax and sink deep into the emotion of this piece.
