notes
Stephen W. Duncan loves to make music – of every style. He has written a symphony and four ballets, numerous ensemble pieces and choral works, but he also likes to dabble with virtual instruments, as in this latest effort – “The Full Moons”, a concept album of many kinds of mood-full melodies, harmonies, and percussive twists that evoke those wondrous periodic events as they seasonally occur.
Mr. Duncan received his musical training at Mercer in Atlanta, is a member of the American Composers Forum and The Thursday Morning Music Club, sings bass in his church’s choir, and still likes to play rock’n’roll with his old high school band The Remnants of Time.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present Stephen W. Duncan with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Full Moons "
Stephen W. Duncan has ingeniously and eloquently mirrored the episodic events of the moon with his expressive and appropriately named album, “The Full Moons.” Duncan has created an atmosphere of beautifully orchestrated compositions using various types of instrumentation with tones of classical and New Age finesse. Stunning and powerful, “Snow Moon,” casts out a luscious melody highlighted by dazzling dynamics as the strings swell only to gently recede ever so softly. A bright and crisp piano cascades across the keys on “Flower Moon” while the Eastern tonality of various instruments gives way to a charming melody. Upbeat and lively, “Harvest Moon” impresses with country style with the banjo plucking away, while the percussion taps to a steady beat. The motif of Stephen W. Duncan’s “The Full Moons” holds thought-provoking melodies with wonderful instrumentation of classical/New Age flair and would be a great addition to anyone who likes to hear and feel the sounds of tranquility. -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |

I have always felt that music should take the listener to a special somewhere. This concept album journeys through many different styles that change with the seasons against a Native-American backdrop. From rock to classical, from electronic to Spanish, from light jazz to Asian, I created a living synthesis of music and nature. So I ask you to travel with me on a evolving adventire into music - simple and complex, tranquil and stirring, meditative and mysterious - as chartable as the tides our Moon affects and as picturesque as a landscape bathed in its luminous light. I hope you enjoy "The Full Moons".
