Blues, Jazz, Gospel, and Beyond!

David celebrates the wonder and gift of music as something not to be taken for granted! Songs Of David promotes the diversity and infinite variety of jazz music! I believe that Music is a gift to be enjoyed and savored! Jazz music, with its roots coming from spirituals, church, and the blues has birthed a myriad of musical styles. The Universe is filled with diversity and variety. Therefore I do not promote only one style of jazz.  Instead, I write, arrange, record, and produce jazz in it's many forms, encouraging an open heart, open mind, and open attitude of acceptance and appreciation for the creativity and infinite musical ideas of others!

Music and religion are intimately linked and music is one of the most powerful tools to convey religious meaning. We as human beings have been given the gift of musical language which can help transform us from our humdrum, everyday existence, into something out of the ordinary. Whether music excites us or soothes us, it transports us to another place. When we play and listen to music it can lift us out of ourselves and enjoy the very language of the heavens. Music is not just sound vibrations or notes on paper - it is ecstatic language!

Songs Of David also places great emphasis on the gift and joy of learning Music.

"Be ready to be transported to a peaceful and serene place with Keyboard Meditations by David Arivett. David's music definitely has therapeutic qualities! Beautiful pianos and lush orchestral pads compliment his wonderful compositions and skilled keyboard playing".  

"Our radio program 'Alpha Rhythms' is dedicated to music that takes you places, and David Arivett's "Keyboard Meditations" CD does just that! Each piece of music carries the listener to where spirit and emotion are the ruling forces. 'Keyboard Meditations' is aptly named in that it is a remarkably contemplative CD. From the masterpiece compositions, Broken, Mysterious Wonder and First Snow, through Arivett's Adagio for Strings, we are treated to numerous 'sound'scapes that invoke distinct moods and make the inner journey accessible for the listener. Thanks for providing our listeners with your music, and good luck with future projects!"
