about FALLING WATER

Welcome to msj-music: the website for Falling Water, a CD specifically composed, performed, and recorded by composer/pianist Michael Strening Jr. as a tool for massage therapy, relaxation, meditation, and healing.

Working in collaboration with massage therapists and psychologists, Michael collected music from his previous 3 CDs, and then went into the studio to record 3 more new pieces, to create an hour and ten minute CD designed to enhance concentration, relaxation, and meditation.

what is being said about FALLING WATER

"Michael Strening Jr.'s Falling Water: Music For Relaxation is a collection of piano solos he composed specifically for massage therapy. (A Chicago schoolteacher by day, Strening was able to return to his piano playing after massage therapy helped his carpal tunnel syndrome, and this collection his part of his payback.) Put on these nine original songs—romantic melodies played with grace and finesse—and let the music work its quiet magic, relaxing and unwinding tension in the room and within the listener. Strening's luminous melodies embody the intuitive skill and gentle healing of many massage modalities. The synergy between the two art forms—music and massage—makes this collection an exquisitely sensitive companion to healing work." — Clare La Plante, Massage Therapy Journal, Winter 2009
