Search - Tim Janis :: The Tonal Garment of The Word

Concision, elocution and impeccable grammar raise the English language to heights of grandeur and beauty seldom reached by contemporary poets and speakers. These qualities are defined to perfection in Kenneth George Mills' presentation of The Tonal Garment of The Word with musical accompaniment by Tim Janis.

Each topic is superbly treated in language both erudite and sublime. In poetic terms, Dr. Mills is a true bard equaling the gifted sages of old in his wisdom, ability to make the difficult understandable and spontaneous waxing into poetic delivery in the midst of an expositorical lecture. From the opening offering entitled "The Sound of a Star" through insights into consciousness-expanding chapters on natural phenomenon, personal growth and seeking truth, the master poet leads listeners on a 19-track path culminating in "A Rhapsodic Nature" for a total of just under 55 minutes. In Dr. Mills' own words: "Tim Janis appeared; a presence was felt. Then his melodies were heard and evoked the spoken word. And on a timeless moment this tonal garment was woven, from 9:00 p.m. to 2:40 a.m. The dance concluded with the jubilant 'Amen!' Such a serendipitous happening has been caught on thie CD for you. May you find that the unrehearsed and original offerings open your heart to the meaning of the word."
