This is honestly the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. I can't believ how insanely talented jennifer thomas is. I am just in awe of this lady. Jennifer thomas should be a household name.
I was falling asleep listening to Panorama and this came in and I had to know what the title was and the video is just as spectacular. Wow!
Lucie, she is in our home. My mom loves her!
I have this in my playlist and I HAVE to have my speaker at 💯% while I dance and cook in my kitchen to this song!!
It’s #1
Such a lovely piece of music. 1:49 always gives me chills!
When you hear notes speak , your idea of good music changes forever . Thank you Jennifer Thomas for making music that touches the soul .
I was studying and listening to pandora when all of the sudden this song started to play and I HAD TO STOP. This is so breath taking!
Sorry for taking so long to reply but thank you!
Me too I really like her music
Me too! I thought it was a soundtrack to something. I was thinking... "hmm I would watch that movie whatever it is"
Rediscovered this beautiful piece after forgetting about it for more than a decade. So glad I found it again
Jennifer…I stumbled upon this song and your videos by complete accident. I have always loved the piano and hearing it played beautifully (as you certainly do) always makes me stop and listen! This particular song is stunningly beautiful to me and to see you actually playing it with (what looks like)ease and confidence is breath taking!
i am a hiker and I cannot tell you how many tymes this (and a few of your other masterpieces) have been playing loudly in my head as i walk the back woods trails! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR MUSIC! so comforting!!
I am 67 years young and listen to a wide variety of music (most of it is un normal 😂 for my age😂😂) but your music is definitely added to my favourites!💥💪🏽😂
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL, TIMELESS MUSIC!
This means so much, thank you for sharing this with me!! ❤️🥰
Jennifer, my mom thinks you are a fabulous inspirational, courageous and beautiful woman. She greatly enjoys your music and how you present yourself. I do, too.
PTL! Jennifer is by far one of the BEST pianist of today. I have the pleasure of spending time with Van Cliburn, Rubenstein, and Librace, They would all marvel at her talent!
I've just learnt about Ms. Thomas through the classical channel of Accuradio.com; I was at work and had to stop everything to listen to an awesome song called "Illumination". When I managed to breathe again I thought "That's the most amazing music I've heard in years!" And then, 20 minutes later they played ANOTHER song from the same album and it was a nuclear blast! Count me in as a new admirer. Hats off from a hard rock player in Venezuela!
Aw, well I take that as a big compliment! Thank you!!
God has blessed you with a beautiful talent. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us. It is simply BEAUTIFUL!
Aw thank you very much ❤️❤️🙏🙏
oh god this song makes me euphoric ....each time i hear it, it's the same reaction....so beautiful
The quote at the beginning is very powerful! It fits this beautiful music.
Year after Year ... I come on here just to say this piece ... Is one of the Most Amazing Pieces of Music I've Ever in My Lifetime. Listened to... Jennifer You're Absolutely Amazing 🤩
Jennifer I am not able to find all the word to say how much I love, enjoy your music. As my pain increases I listen to your music to get my mind off the pain when driving, resting and most of all to help me fall asleep. You can't fall asleep when your body is throbbing in pain. Listening to your music I do self-hypnosis and let your music take me on a journey and leaving my pain riddled body behind and fall asleep.
I thank God daily for your music.
You are the most wonderful composer, pianist and violinist on the plant. I have ALL your CD's and listen to you on my computer at work. Going to one of your concerts, if possible, is on my bucket list!!! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Aw that means so much! Thank you for listening and loving my music! 💗🙏
Exhilarating! Inspiring! Gorgeous. Emotional. Vibrant. Melancholic. Melodic. Rhythmic. Grand. Moving to moments of pensive reflection. Thank you for illuminating me.
I love the look at the end. Yes you absolutely killed it!
I just wanted to say thanks for all the great comments here - I don't always get a chance to respond to each and every one, but I do read them all and am so grateful! Thank you!!
Never quit making great pieces.
Jennifer Thomas omg thank you for letting us use this in our marching show !
Your music is my favorite. It is the most relaxing and enjoyable part of my days.
She’s beautiful in every sense of the word and personally love her just the way you Are.
Best piano, best writing, best orchestra, best camera work, best editing....just the BEST!!!
This song is stunningly beautiful and I never tire of listening to it on repeat! Each time is like the first time and I am in complete Awe all over again 🤩😍
Aw thank you soooooo much! This means a lot! ✨❤️🎵
Oh what a GIFT you have!! Thank you for sharing it!!!!!
I find myself several times a day enjoying her music by lying on my bed, pillow under my knees, Bose headphones on, closing my eyes and letting the music take me on a journey, leave my body and pain behind. Thank you Jennifer for following your talent and God given talent.
What a beautiful, marvelous piece of 🎶 🎵 ❤😊
I came across this piece on Spotify today. I wept in joy... what a ride this music is.
Thank you Jennifer.
God bless you.
Secret Garden- Ilumination
Like many of you here, I was working on homework with Pandora playing on the background when this came on. Paused and listened to it in its entirety. So beautiful! Especially from 2:51 - 3:06 ... gives me chills every time. Thank you!
How could two people dis-like this?? They must be deaf and angry that they cannot hear it's beauty.
The spirit of the awakened rises when this frequency goes through your heart.
If each note can touch your soul as it does to mine, you are the one.
My go to song when i want to feel extremely happy i love this music and have for a really really long time. Thank you for this beautiful piece the first time it made me cry.
Awwwwwwww I'm so glad! Thank you for telling me this! ❤️
@@jenniferthomas OMG you replied yea I used to listen to all the music I had access to while I was overseas.
You inspire me to paint.. I always listen to your music its absolutely beautiful
I absolutely love this music!! Gives so much harmony and love to the world!! 🌎
On Pandora I will replay this song three times or more. I absolutely love this I am so grateful to you for something so beautiful. It's strange that I was eight years in the Army three years as a machine gunner, and crew serve weapons, 20 years as a truck driver and I listen to this, and I'm actually enjoying it.
WOW! FANTASTIC! What a fantastic concerto! Lovely written piano piece !!
Aw thank you ❤️🙏
You truly are a gift from God. Your music in how I do self-hypnosis really helps me deal with pain and relaxation. But one of my items on my bucket list is to see you in concert. My time on this earth is limited so I surround myself with beautiful things and your music is one huge thing that brings me happiness.
God bless you Jennifer.
Todd
This is a masterpiece... really unbelievable... This piece just blowed up my brain!
Also the new album The Fire Within it’s just from another planet... Each piece it’s just better than the previous... so passionate and unique... it is an ecstasy for the Spirit...
I just love watching this over and over. I can't wait to learn your beautiful piece. You are stunning. You have a talent that most pianist don't have. I know this is an older video. But I just recently discovered you. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your amazing talent with the world. Much love to you and your family.
I heard this song because Alysa Lui skated to it. Beautiful!
I am enthralled every single time I listen to it. Thank you for making such a powerful and illuminating piece of music!
This MASTERPIECE can be a theme for MANY EPIC MOVIES
Honestly, it's a true MASTERPIECE, Wow!
It has already been used for Halo 4 Just look up Halo 4 Arrival it sounds so familiar
I just discovered Jennifer Thomas by complete coincidence.
It's like uncovering a hidden treasure.
Illumination left me breathless and astounded.
Have spent the last few hours listening to everything I can find.
Pure talent.
Pure genius.
Pure joy.
Aw thank you!!
@@jenniferthomas A Goddess who replies to mortals?
What madness is this.
I have already printed the page outready for framing.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for making my day/week/month and wish you and your family a very Happy Easter & continued good fortune.
I love the camera work at the end, when it disappears into the piano as a fade to black. Very cool!
this is the most wonderful video I ever watched in my life
I just heard this song on Pandora. The first time I heard it, it brought tears to my eyes, which is very rare for me. This piece is one of the most awe inspiring I've ever heard; truly remarkable. Thank you Ms. Thomas for your talent and creative genius.
Thank you so much for that comment Troy - means a lot.
this music truly deserves millions view.
This is,THIS IS!!!! I JUST AM LOST FOR WORDS!!!!!
This song inspired me to start playing the piano...and I'm in love with how it works
This goes into eargasm around 3rd minute. Awesome!
Jennifer, I love your Illumination and could listen all day long. It is a masterpiece. Thank you
I always come back to this for inspiration, brilliant! 💜
Honestly, I truly cant even fathom how many times I've listen to this song over the years, and never once I have ever not enjoyed this song like i did the first time. So ridiculously perfect its a master piece and I hope this song goes down in history as one of the greatest musical pieces ever made, and I mean that.
Aw seriously thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@jenniferthomas You are very welcome!!! I'm actually shocked you saw this!! Thank you!!
I absolutely LOVE this song! You are an awesome, amazing, beautiful musician! This song gives me chills and just like I always say to the many scenic photographers that I meet regularly (since I am one as well): It takes an awesome artist to give somebody chills!!!
A true "Illumination" my dive Jennifer Thomas! CONGRATULATIONS! CELEBRETE!!!
AWESOME! Do not question how it was done, its from the heart!
Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to share this with. Many people know I use music to help deal with constant pain. Well I have been helping 2 of my lady friends how to like myself. Well this first song to show what type of music works best. Well it was this song about half way threw song I noticed they both had tears running down their cheeks. I asked what was wrong, they replied they had no idea how wonderful it was and could see how your music helps me not think about pain. They wanted more and to know if you come to Wisconsin. You with your talent helps me have a quality of life which I normally do not have.
This makes me think of the soundtrack of a period drama and takes me to another world..
I hit 200,000 views and missed it! 200,819 now! Thank you guys for supporting my music!
And 61,000 more in the past 8 months...
If i could listen to one song for eternity, this would be the song i would listen to the MOST : D
Wow!...The composition is excellent, thanks for sharing it.
This music took me to another world and I do not want to go back
So wonderful to hear, thank you Roberto!
I am in Papya New Guinea
Nothing much going on here during work breaks except to browse the internet for news back home. When I got bored browsing and turned to tv, which I don't do much, there's this classic music channel from australia I clicked by chance, they played this music, instantly fell in love with and made my day - and days ahead for sure...
thank you for the gift of music!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot.
Damn, this really tugs at the heart-strings...how did that happen!
I listen to this song every night and it helps me calm down and sleep you are an a amazing pianist keep on playing
Instant subscription. I love this song - so well written!
Aw thank you!! Much appreciated! ❤️
Amazing
Wow!
Stops me cold and sends chills up my spine every time.
I really like this song. I heard it on pandora for the first time. Excellent!
This song is wonderful and beautiful! Absolutely loving it!
Jennifer: You changed the way I view the piano. Bravo! You're such a brilliant pianist!!
Mesmerizing!! And beautiful lady. 🌹❤️
Bravo!!!👋👋👋Amazing Composition
Excellent composition by Jennifer Thomas. Inspires the music of the multiverse! Cheers!
I know this is old but this is my all time fav piano song
three things are very good i haven't seen it before 1 you 2 your music 3 piano. thanks for that
And Pandora does it again. I've discovered so many wonderful artists though Pandora. Jennifer this song is beautiful.I will be purchasing this album.
Thank you Sarah!
I too discovered her on Pandora.
I wish alot of this newer instrumental music had been around when I was a kid. I only spent 2 years learning an instrument before getting bored because all we had was classical orchestra-type music in our classes. Which I like to listen to sometimes, but the individual instruments mostly get a fairly minor, repetitive role, and it felt stale over time. I absolutely would have been more motivated to learn if stuff like this and Lyndsey Stirling had been around several decades ago. So I hope there are alot of folks out there now picking up these classic instruments because of these newer artists.
I love it it’s so beautiful
So very talented!!!!
Thats so emotional music. I love piano songs.
Very pleasant music, It never put me tired in listening, listening , listening and listening again. Thank you a lot.
A masterpiece, don't stop.
I know this comment is extremely late but I gotta say it 'I LOVE YOUR WORK'
Beautiful 😘
I would like to say your music is beautiful. However, beautiful isn't sufficient. In fact, in my opinion, none of the adjectives that come to mind are capable of conveying how truly amazing your music is. I haven't heard all your albums, but so far my favorite song is The Fire Within. I love watching the live version with the symphony and choir.
Aw wow thank you, truly!! ❤️❤️
A magnificent piece of music-some of the finest I've heard. I was completely absorbed in it.
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏
Beautiful song. I always listen to this when I run lol
The talent!! My goodness, the talent!! Sheesh... I love it
Awe thank you!!
Jennifer Thomas forgive me, but I'm just now finding your music lol. By what I've heard so far, I can't wait to hear more :D
I never get disappointed when listening to your music. Absolutely magnificent.
I have most of your CDs.....But some are hard to get a hold of here in the UK. It took 6wks to get...The fire within album.
But...Well worth the wait. I bought 2.....Just in case one wears out. Take care...Love to all the Thomas family.
This piece evokes music frisson.
Wow masterpiece!! Regards from 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 really love all your musics. I love piano!
Mrs. Thomas I'm at 13 years old and I'm going to play etude for the dreamer and my sister is 12 she is playing illumination. She has been taking piano lessons for four years and I have been playing for three years we want to say that you have influenced my musical career so much thank you
Awww this totally made my day! Thank you so much! I'm cheering you on as you continue your musical education, and best of luck with Etude For the Dreamer, that is my toughest piece! :)
Its works like this, that keep me inspired to play piano.. You're superior at your craft, thanks again Jennifer.
This song.... its just perfect. Lov it, te escucho desde Mexico :) congratulations !!
Also, if you don't get chills from this song, you have no soul for music.
I've just finished listening to this AGAIN‼️ I just love it....it puts me in a great mood.👍🏼💕
Absolutely breathtaking. I love this song!
This woman is so talented and cute. I want to see her smile. I wish I was as good as her.
Awe thank you!! I get so into my music when I play I'm totally not aware of what many faced is doing. I have to practice before my music videos to remember look up, or at least attempt a half smile LOL. Probably my serious classical training that did it to me! :)
I think the look at the end there is way more powerful than any smile. To me it says "I'm in the zone & every piano from here to Timbuktu better take cover. No mercy will be given. No prisoners. Coming for you." Lol.
...Even though I'm sure your smiles are lovely too. But yea, nothing beats the "in the zone" body language for me. That is something very authentic & real. Luv your vids.
That's all. Take it easy :)
this really is one hell of a piece
