On Saturday, May 7th 48 students traveled to Nashville, TN to record 8 songs at Starstruck Studios, a world class recording studio owned by Reba McEntire. This was our longest recording session to date...running from 8 am to 3 am. The students recorded Loved By The Sun from 4 pm to 7 pm.

If you have ever seen the movie "Legend" then you know just how cool this song is.

This recording session was definitely a big production and wouldn't have been possible without the following people. Many of these individuals reduced their rates or worked for free in order to make this beautiful song come to life.

Dan Willard, who transcribed the song and provided us with the sheet music. His transcription was incredibly accurate and without his efforts we never could have learned the song. If you ever need perfect transcriptions, be sure to check out www.danwillardmusic.com

Clemens Schleiwies, for mixing and mastering the song. We were very excited to have Clemems mix and master the song because, like Tangerine Dream, he is from Germany. Clemens transferred the song to analog tape and then mixed it on his vintage Helios console which is from Hansa, a world famous studio in Berlin. For top notch mixes and absolute professionalism, definitely check out Clemens' services: www.analogmix.com

Brian Anderson, Josh Cole and Morgan Asher...what can I say, these guys worked 24 hours straight and took care of business. They made the trip enjoyable and successful. I can't thank them enough!!!

Kristin Agee for arranging the percussion part: www.kristinagee.com

Tom and Nick Inglin for their fantastic photos which were used in the credit sequence of the video.

Todd Tidwell and Aaron Kasdorf, the engineers who kept the session relaxed and productive despite the long hours. The students can't wait to work with them again.

And of course to all the parents for making this trip possible. My students are very lucky to have parents who are so supportive.

Note: I am looking for cameramen, photographers and video editors to help out on future projects. The amount of work to create these videos is daunting, so any help would greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you are interested in getting involved (we do have money in our budget for these services). Our future sessions will most likely occur in Cincinnati, OH and Nashville, TN.

  • I've never seen the movie Legend, never heard this piece of music before. However, this was so professionally performed and captured that I almost feel I don't need to see the movie or hear the original piece. It sounded amazing and full of emotion. After the last video I watched I expected nothing less.

  • Amazing musicians!

  • WOW just WOW!!!

  • That little gal's voice is phenomenal now. I can't wait to hear her in a year or two.

  • Nice voice for a little girl, and awesome cover! Legend rules.

  • Good cover of this song, but the original is always better Jon Anderson!!!!!!!!!

  • @NewoNZ You're missing out, then. My childhood consisted of this movie and music. They did an amazing job at it.

  • big voice for a little girl, wow, I'm impressed...

  • I just listened to the soundtrack from Legend and while the soundtrack from the movie was good...I have to say unequivocally that these students, the whole group, the instrumentals, the backup singers and the lead singer all far outshined the original done in the movie...Great Job to all!!! Each and everyone of you have done a great job, something to be proud of as a group and individually...Don't stop believing !

  • i have been a fan of this song for the longest time
