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:
“And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Poetry
Exceeding music must take the place
Of empty heaven and its hymns....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I used to be angry all the time and I’d sit there weaving my anger. Now I’m not angry. I sit there hearing the sounds outside, the sounds in the room, the sounds of the treadles and heddles—a music of my own making.”
—Bhakti Ziek (b. c. 1946)
