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 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!!
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!
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!
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, 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.
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!
The passion you project is simply amazing. I am simply moved by your use of raw emotion expressed as music. Please never stop, you give me hope that truth and beauty shall not utterly perish from this earth.
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.
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!
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!
Exhilarating! Inspiring! Gorgeous. Emotional. Vibrant. Melancholic. Melodic. Rhythmic. Grand. Moving to moments of pensive reflection. Thank you for illuminating me.
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.
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.
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 🤩😍
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
I love your beautiful music, it's so soul touching and heart warming. There are so many emotions and feelings in all your music. I can relate to your magical moments. ❤ thanks for great compositions.
Was working in my office and this came on my Pandora. I didn't recognize it so I had to look. Then clicked around on more of your stuff and feel in love. I'm a musician myself and have a critical ear for music. Your chord progression and transitions are unique and beautiful.
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!!!
Heard this song on Pandora and it was an amazing song that I actually really liked. Had to come on UA-cam to hear it again and again because its such an awesome song!!!
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.
@@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 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.
Thank you all for the lovely words of support. I would be so grateful if you would click "subscribe" so you can be part of my community here and also be sure to select the "bell" so you get notifications of my future music videos and vlogs! :) Thanks! - Jennifer
I came across this piece on Spotify today. I wept in joy... what a ride this music is.

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"
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
I don't always listen to 'Illumination'... but when I do, so do the neighbours.
Hahaha 🤣🤣
