Music
St. John, who previously won a philharmonic award at the age of 15 for a song he composed completely by ear, returned to composing music in 2007. He was contacted by Jerry and Esther Hicks, the New York Times best-selling authors of Law of Attraction and Ask And It Is Given, about bringing their children's book series to the big screen as a movie musical. St. John collaborated with Esther Hicks on the project and composed 15 original songs while Esther wrote the lyrics. Esther and Jerry asked to play two small roles in the film. St. John, who combined Sara Book 1 and Sara Book 2 into a final screenplay, will direct the film while his production company produces. It is to be shot on location in Austin, San Antonio and Bourne, Texas. Stewart also scored 13 CD's of original music and cues for the Sara audio books on which the movie was based. The audio books were released through inspirational self-help publishers Hay House, Inc.
Stewart, a voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammys), composed his first solo album of inspirational music in the spring of 2008. Called Cloudwalking, the album is currently available on iTunes, Amazon and select book stores including the Edgar Cayce bookstore ARE located in Virginia. In 2010 Stewart released his second CD Global Symphony composed of 12 instrumental songs for meditation and relaxation. The CD made the entry ballot as "Best New Age Album" for the 2011 Grammys. He has followed up that album with the 2011 release of Love, featuring 13 brand new tracks of stirring piano melodies and "Alchemy", a collection of energy-focused music and chants.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“The harp that once through Tara’s halls The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara’s walls As if that soul were fled.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
