You can listen to a audio sample of Mogensen's
"Aerial Fantasy" which, he received a
Pulitzer Prize nomination for in 2007 right
here...http://www.barnhouse.com/product.php?id=012-3739-00
After I listened to this sample
of Michael's phenomenal and
wonderfully energizing piece taken
from "Aerial Fantasy" I was
so impressed I just had to order the
CD so I could have my own copy. I
was so energized and taken back to
my days in the Air Force when the
hair on the back of my neck and on
my arms would stand up as the
fighter jets that I worked on would
fly overhead, after listening to
this at 1:30am that I had a
difficult time falling asleep! I
whole heartedly recommend Michael's
brilliant work and beautiful music.
