Angel Sandalphon (The Angel of New Beginnings)” feels less like a song and more like a moment you step into. Received in a dream and recorded at dawn as birds began to sing, this solo piano piece carries the quiet energy of transition, the soft space between night ending and morning beginning. It’s calm, intentional, and deeply centered.
Karen Salicath’s piano work is gentle and unforced. Every note arrives with patience, leaving room for breath and reflection. There’s no rush here, no dramatic swells or sudden turns. Instead, the piece flows naturally, mirroring the idea of renewal it’s built on. You can hear the stillness of early morning in the pacing, the way the melody unfolds slowly, like light entering a room.

Inspired by Angel Sandalphon, often associated with music, prayer, and fresh beginnings, the composition carries a cleansing feel. It works as a mental reset, especially for listeners stepping into a new season or needing clarity after a heavy stretch. The simplicity is the strength. Nothing competes for attention, and every element sits exactly where it should.

The cover art adds another layer to the experience. Created from Salicath’s original painting, it visually echoes the same peaceful frequency as the music, making the release feel like a single, unified expression rather than separate parts stitched together.
