“Linger A Moment” – Calming Music for Rest, Relaxation, Prayer, Meditation



Today’s interlude is offered as a challenge.   I’ve found that without discipline, it’s nearly impossible to just be still, calm, and relaxed in the midst of our busy days.    This interlude is just over six minutes long.  I’d like to challenge everyone to find 6:15 to get alone and listen to this interlude.   At first, you’ll probably be anxious about everything that you have to do.   Try your best to push through those first, rushing thoughts of all your cares and concerns.   Be present in the music – allowing yourself to be still, calm, and relaxed.



Consider offering a prayer.   Express gratitude.   Meditate on something noble and beautiful.  Or just close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, and relax.



Are you up for the challenge?   If you are, please leave a comment below after you’ve listened and tell me how you feel.

“Morning Coffee” – Solo Piano Instrumental for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, and Rest



I’m finally back in the studio and after a few months’ hiatus (again), I’m happy to be releasing a new piano interlude for my Worship Interludes Podcast.   I called this one “Morning Coffee” – having my coffee in the morning with my quiet time is one of my favorite parts of the day.



I hope that you can listen to this short, five minute interlude and that it brings a sense of peace and calm to your day.



Thank you for listening!Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

“Time to Listen” – Peaceful, Relaxing Solo Piano Music for Prayer, Meditation, Reflection, Relaxing



Last night I was listening to an Atlanta Braves baseball game on the radio.  In between innings there was a commercial which was a short devotion by a pastor.   The short 30-second devotion reminded us that God often speaks in a still, small voice and that we don’t typically hear Him unless we slow down, make ourselves quiet, and listen.



It inspired me to finally sit down and record again for the first time in over 2 months.



This short, 5-minute interlude should help you slow down, quieten yourself, and listen …

“At Peace” – Solo Piano Improvisation Background Music for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Worship



I decided to forego the pads and extra layers of sound this morning and just record the pure, simple piano.    The Key of Eb is one of my favorite keys and is where I began.   This morning was a sweet time of worship for me.  I sang to my Lord spontaneously and prayed as I played throughout this improvisation.   It just felt sweet and peaceful to me.



I hope that you enjoy it as well.   Thanks so much for your support and listening.   Whether you utilize this podcast as a soundtrack for prayer, meditating, studying, relaxing, or even sleeping – I’m just glad that I’m able to share it with you and that you are out there listening.



Grace and peace,Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

“Pursuit” – Piano Instrumental Interlude for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Worship, Mindfulness



Welcome to episode #266 of my Worship Interludes Podcast.    This episode is called “Pursuit” and is in the key of G-minor.   The interlude lasts nearly eight minutes.    I suppose it’s the nature of the minor key and the melody that came forth as I was recording, but this interlude has a pressing, trial-like vibe.



When we are in pursuit of something, it’s often a long, hard journey.   I have set some personal goals for 2022 and although I’m already encouraged by the results I’m seeing, I also realize it’s going to be a long journey.   I”m in pursuit of something – and it may take a while!



I hope this interlude will help you pray, meditate, or just simply relax and focus on your next steps.   Perhaps that next step is nothing more than being aware and grateful for where you are in your journey today.
