ASCAP Composer, Brenda Lane, Reveals the Story Behind the Music in Her First Book, Under the Eye

    ANGWIN, CA, February 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "We were on the third floor of his condo. I sat on his couch comfortably, listening to the sound of paper as he shuffled the score sheets professionally in his capable hands. I pondered the fact that I was even sitting there. I was just a single mom, barely making the pennies stretch from one day to the next, certainly not able to stand with my head up in the circles that this man walked in. So how was it that I was sitting with this famous orchestral arranger? His credits included Land of the Lost, Star Trek, Medal of Honor, Ratatouille, Mission Impossible, Aeon Flux, Into the Blue, The King and I, The Siege, All Dogs Go to Heaven. In the years to come he would have his part in the score for the Pixar movie Up, which would win a Grammy. The list went on. And there he sat, Mr. Larry Kenton (or Lars, as I had come to know him), orchestral arranger; score sheets neatly in front of him, pencil in hand, scribing delicious notes all over the page. And where was his ear attuned? To my voice, my scrawny little voice as I indicated each note of the symphony that was burning in my heart, eager for the release that his hand would assure me... The piece had been driving me insane. I could hear it so clearly, but I had no way of playing it, or scribing the notes. I had been given a gift, but I would have to wait upon the skills of others, their understanding of the gift, and the money that would fly this music into reality--more than six hundred songs."

ASCAP composer, Brenda M. Lane, reveals the story behind the music in her first book, Under the Eye - a composer's journey; published by WestBow Press - a division of Thomas Nelson Publishing.

This book will have you in tears; the kind when you laugh so hard it hurts, the kind that summons a compassion for unbelievable trials, and the kind that brim your eyes when you witness miraculous events coming to pass. The story is true. The story is miraculous. The story is gripping. Under the Eye demonstrates the phenomenal way that God works in our lives.
