A Grand Memoir is Grammy-winning vocalist Darlene Koldenhoven’s third solo piano album and fourteenth on her TimeArt® Recordings label. Ten original New Age – Classical Crossover compositions, including one improvisation, range from relaxing to rousing. Her sonic palette reveals a variety of meters and modes, expressed with sweeping emotions, ethereal spaces, some pensive, and others pure joy. Darlene’s love for the piano shines through these heartfelt live performances. While writing her memoir, Put Your Dress Down and Sing, Darlene's awakening dreams became filled with the music for this album.  On January 22, 2026, Darlene recorded live in her living room on a 1926 Golden Era Steinway Model L grand piano with original strings and ivory keys. The century-old piano was entrusted to Darlene’s care by a family whose concert pianist mother was the original owner. Sheet music will be available at Darlene's website soon. Music from A Grand Memoir appears in the audiobook version of Darlene’s memoir, Put Your Dress Down and Sing (Sibylline Press). Her Book, E-Book, and Audiobook also drop on August 7, 2026.
