(Notes from the composer:)
As vice-president (2006-7) of a Best Buddies International Chapter(a charity for the mentally disabled), a volunteer music therapy assistant for the mentally disabled), and nephew of a cancer victim/my aunt, Leticia Cheung, a portion of the sales from "Metamorphosis" and "Breakaway" went to "Best Buddies International" & "American Cancer Society." In the case of this new CD, it is my wish to continue with the spirit of giving by donating a portion of "Classical" sales to support UNICEF to help "Children Affected by the Sichuan Earthquake in CHina." I started this CD in 2004 and I think it's my most personal and carefully crafted music since "Metamorphosis."

Tracks 2-8, 12, 13 recorded live and mixed and mastered by recording engineers at Roy O' Disney Music Hall. Tracks 1,0-11, 16-20 performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by C. Kenneth Lee at CKL Studio in Valencia, CA & Hong Kong. Track 15 and 16 recorded live and mastered by Northwestern University's recording engineers at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall.

All Vocals, instruments and synthesized instruments performed by C. Kenneth Lee. (Executive Producers:) Roy O'Disney Hall, Northwestern University's Pick Staiger Hall recording engineer team & C. Kenneth Lee.
