In honor of our dear maestro, there will be live performances featuring orators and musicians, along with a silent auction and a memorial immersion where you can experience PLW’s healing music, media, and art. If you plan to attend the service in person, you are welcome to bring a VEGAN potluck salad or hot dish to share at the reception, complimenting the catered offerings.

We encourage you to wear white or Hawaiian attire to pay tribute to Paulo’s deep spiritual and creative connection with island life. Paul found profound inspiration in the whales, dolphins, waterfalls and the mighty Pacific Ocean, as well as the people of the islands.

Dear Friends, Fans & Soul Community,

We are reaching out to you with open hearts, inviting you to join us in a journey of love, support, and togetherness. As we embark on the first phase of the Paul Lloyd Warner Legacy Projects, we need your help to bring our vision to life. Whether you can volunteer your time, lend your skills, or offer financial support—no contribution is too small. Whether it’s $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100, $500, or more, your generosity will make a world of difference.

Our immediate goal is to raise $5,000 to cover essential expenses for producing and maintaining a beautiful virtual and in-person event at the Seaside Sanctuary in Encinitas. Your support will help us create a seamless simulcast and provide the resources needed for our dedicated event helpers. Contributions will also cover the cost of a house manager to oversee the sanctuary, a production crew including two cameramen on tripods, a mobile cameraman, a backstage operator to manage the global broadcast via BOXCAST, a technician for YouTube-LIVE and Facebook-LIVE streams, and an in-house presentation manager to handle all media, presentations, and music scores.

After our celebration, your contributions will also cover catering, ensuring everyone is nourished and cared for.

Furthermore, the funds raised will support the extended family in managing Paul's archival storage needs and establishing a new online presence, including a restructured website with free music content and a tiered membership offer. We will also partner with a social media manager to launch a crowdfunding campaign, prepare email lists, and make important social media announcements.

His music reached millions, leaving an indelible mark on hearts across the globe.

Rest in peace, my dear friend. The world will never forget your "Last Blue Sound."

His profound connection to God, the Whales, Dolphins, Nature and the Stars continues to inspire and uplift us all. Thank you for being a part of this beautiful journey.

The theme for the Celebration of Life - The Last Blue Sound is based around "The Love Song," which is just a small taste of PLW's diversity in music compositions. ENJOY!!

The Love Song - Piano & Electronic Strings - 10:18

This is one of the most beautiful piano compositions inspired by love and is the longest track. The performance sings, is most melodious, and is filled with upliftment and joy for all to hear.

A Plea for Nature - Piano & Lilting Electronic Strings - 2:58

This is a more ethereal piano piece recorded up in the Great Northwest and was one of his piano pieces recorded LIVE in nature as his "Plea for Nature."

Stargazer - Cathedral Symphony - 4:55

This was one of the most epic recordings Paul Lloyd Warner and I did out in Yosemite (at night on one of our evening recordings in the mobile recording studio...afterwards we listened to the playback where he and I wept and cried at different times, for days...knowing of this great new masterpiece...It is POWERFUL!)

Haleakala - Contemporary track - 3:57

This is like a farewell piece and is a little faster pace and beautiful.

An American Symphony - (1Hr)

PAUL LLOYD WARNER, the composer and performing artist of AN AMERICAN SYMPHONY states that this is NOT a work of nationalism or politics. This IS a work of celebration recorded LIVE in the American wilderness and took over 30+ years to create this masterpiece of originality. It is a work of profound Love. The artist with his creative business partner & best friend, Arion Jay Goodwin, travelled throughout the American West, driving up 4-wheel drive roads to reach hidden places of immense glory. Paul Lloyd Warner reached into the depths of his heart and soul to make this music real, transcendent and original with no mixing, multi-tracking or over-dubbing, just pure solo performances...just as you hear it. There is so much richness through "AN AMERICAN SYMPHONY" that listeners are bound to experience this as a great work of majestic inspiration and adventurous musicality. ENJOY !
