<p>The album "Pianoscapes" maintains pieces by number and not specific titles. It contains solo piano and piano with muti-timbral sounds. "Pianoscapes 14" is essentially a solo piano structured song. The harmony of the piece resembles hymns; yet it is presented as as reflective piece. The occasional discordant notes seem to be working their way into Maurice's hands by George Shearing who passed in 2011 in his 90s. This is mentioned because Shearing was one of the great influences in the Artist's teaching himself to 'play by ear--' a practice discouraged by the classical music teachers. </p>
<p>A major factor in the genesis of all of Maurice's music came from playing the grand piano in Wait Chapel in the late 1950s. Playing hours late into the night without any sheet music, the harmonies just 'showed up' and have never left. Thereafter, he continued to develop this aspect of his talent. </p>
