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:
“How little it takes to make us happy! The sound of a bagpipe.Without music life would be a mistake. The German even imagines God as singing songs.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (15641616)
