Welcoming Karen Salicath back to this blog feels like opening the doors of a cherished home to an artist whose music belongs here. A multi-award-winning composer, pianist, and producer, Karen’s work is a bridge between worlds—where sound becomes light, and melodies hold the power to heal. Born in Denmark and now gracing New York City and Florida with her presence, she has spent decades crafting beauty, not just through music but also as a professional artist, painter, sculptor, and photographer. A true visionary, Karen’s ability to translate emotion into sound is divine.
Her piano piece, “Angel Michael – The Angel of Courage,” is a testament to her mastery. The song introduces itself with the gentlest touch as if stepping softly into a sacred space. There is no rush—just a steady, graceful unfolding of notes that invite the listener into a realm of peace and resilience. The warmth of her 80-year-old Steinway resonates deeply, each note carrying an intimate, almost whispered reverence. The composition flows like a prayer, each chord a brushstroke painting a portrait of strength and guardianship.
Karen’s performance is effortlessly expressive, her touch so delicate yet profoundly intentional. The way she allows each note to breathe, lingering just long enough to sink into the soul, showcases a level of artistry that few can achieve. This is piano music at its finest—pure, unforced, and deeply moving. The production is beautifully unembellished, letting the natural richness of the instrument shine without distraction. It feels like the universe itself is listening.
“Angel Michael – The Angel of Courage” is more than a composition; it’s an experience—a moment of stillness, a reminder of unseen strength, a quiet reassurance that courage is always within reach. Karen Salicath has, once again, gifted us something ethereal, and it is an honor to have her music grace this space.
