Review by Kathy Parsons
“Cathedral In the Clouds” is the first single from Peter Calandra’s upcoming album. He’ll be releasing singles from that album until the release date (around February 2026), and if this piece is any indication, it’s going to be another great album! More orchestrated than many of Peter’s pieces, he did everything on this single including writing the music; playing the piano, orchestrated sounds, mandolin and gryphon (a 12-stringed acoustic guitar that is tuned 10 frets higher than a standard guitar); and mixing and mastering. In its five-minute playing time, several themes are explored that range from somewhat mysterious to bright and lively to very spare and rather dark to cinematic and symphonic to a feeling of moving forward. Fascinating and exceptionally well-done!

“Cathedral In the Clouds” is available to stream or download on Amazon, Apple Music/iTunes as well as streaming sites including Spotify and Pandora. Very highly recommended!
