Composer and pianist Joshua White unveils a captivating new album, Flora and Fauna: 9 Preludes for Solo Piano, a collection of original works that explore the delicate interplay between the natural world and human emotion. The album will be available on all major streaming platforms on December 19, 2025 via Orenda Records.
Inspired by the textures, rhythms, and quiet mysteries of nature, Flora and Fauna brings to life a series of nine preludes, each representing a unique facet of the living world—from the gentle unfolding of a fern at dawn to the restless energy of wind through the canopy. Through intricate harmonies and vivid tone painting, Joshua White invites listeners to reconnect with the organic pulse of the environment that surrounds us.
“Each prelude is a miniature world,” says Joshua White. “I wanted to capture how sound can breathe like a forest, bloom like a flower, and move like an animal in motion. The pieces are reflections on how we coexist with nature—sometimes in harmony, sometimes in tension.”
Flora and Fauna: 9 Preludes for Solo Piano is both a meditation and a celebration—an invitation to slow down, listen, and rediscover the music inherent in the natural world.
