“Morning Coffee” – Solo Piano Instrumental for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, and Rest
I’m finally back in the studio and after a few months’ hiatus (again), I’m happy to be releasing a new piano interlude for my Worship Interludes Podcast. I called this one “Morning Coffee” – having my coffee in the morning with my quiet time is one of my favorite parts of the day.
I hope that you can listen to this short, five minute interlude and that it brings a sense of peace and calm to your day.
Thank you for listening!Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

“Time to Listen” – Peaceful, Relaxing Solo Piano Music for Prayer, Meditation, Reflection, Relaxing
Last night I was listening to an Atlanta Braves baseball game on the radio. In between innings there was a commercial which was a short devotion by a pastor. The short 30-second devotion reminded us that God often speaks in a still, small voice and that we don’t typically hear Him unless we slow down, make ourselves quiet, and listen.
It inspired me to finally sit down and record again for the first time in over 2 months.
This short, 5-minute interlude should help you slow down, quieten yourself, and listen …

“At Peace” – Solo Piano Improvisation Background Music for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Worship
I decided to forego the pads and extra layers of sound this morning and just record the pure, simple piano. The Key of Eb is one of my favorite keys and is where I began. This morning was a sweet time of worship for me. I sang to my Lord spontaneously and prayed as I played throughout this improvisation. It just felt sweet and peaceful to me.
I hope that you enjoy it as well. Thanks so much for your support and listening. Whether you utilize this podcast as a soundtrack for prayer, meditating, studying, relaxing, or even sleeping – I’m just glad that I’m able to share it with you and that you are out there listening.

“Pursuit” – Piano Instrumental Interlude for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Worship, Mindfulness
Welcome to episode #266 of my Worship Interludes Podcast. This episode is called “Pursuit” and is in the key of G-minor. The interlude lasts nearly eight minutes. I suppose it’s the nature of the minor key and the melody that came forth as I was recording, but this interlude has a pressing, trial-like vibe.
When we are in pursuit of something, it’s often a long, hard journey. I have set some personal goals for 2022 and although I’m already encouraged by the results I’m seeing, I also realize it’s going to be a long journey. I”m in pursuit of something – and it may take a while!
I hope this interlude will help you pray, meditate, or just simply relax and focus on your next steps. Perhaps that next step is nothing more than being aware and grateful for where you are in your journey today.

“In the Beginning” – Solo Piano Instrumental for Prayer, Meditation, Soaking Worship, Relaxation
Welcome to my first new piano improvisation of 2022, appropriately titled “In The Beginning”. It’s the beginning of yet another year. I vividly remember how relieved I was to be putting 2020 behind us, thinking that we may finally be returning to a sense of normalcy in 2021. As we all know and lived, it was anything but “normal” in 2021 – although for most, far better than 2020.
I hope that you enjoy this short interlude that I recorded today. May it bring you peace, rest, and comfort as you listen.

“Forever Grateful” – Solo Piano Improvisation by Fred McKinnon
Hello everyone,
It’s been a while (once again) since I recorded. This morning I decided that I’m going to just forget about all the work I have to do and sit down and record. I hit record and played the first chord and realized that in my rush, I hadn’t even prepared myself. I took a deep breath, whispered a quick prayer, and began to improvise. For the next six minutes, it was like escaping to another place.
I’ve realized that one of the hinderances I have to releasing new episodes – and it may seem ridiculous and petty – is trying to come up with some special new “title” and something to write here on the podcast notes. So, let’s agree together – I’ll just record and not worry about having anything fancy here for titles and recaps!
And with that, I give you my morning interlude. I’ve named it “Forever Grateful” as we’ve just finished our Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank you for listening.

“Mindful Moments, Op. 8” – Solo Piano Instrumental Interludes by Fred McKinnon
Released October 9, 2021
Today’s interlude is a shorter piano instrumental that is part of my “Mindful Moments” series. This series features piano improvisations that are under five minutes. My wife was talking about some of my instrumental pieces earlier this week. She is a fitness instructor and likes to play some of these instrumentals during cool down periods or for stretching. She clearly prefers the pieces that have more of a melody and not the chordal pieces that leave a lot of space.
Today’s interlude is full of melody. Recorded in the Key of A Major, the motif is based all around the Maj7 of the key and is playful yet peaceful.
I hope you enjoy this week’s recording.
As always, I’m grateful for your listening and your support.
Grace and peace,
Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

Hello friends,
I absolutely love the Fall Season. By far, it’s my favorite. I was able to spend some time in the studio this morning to share this improvisation. The piano music is in the Key of Dm and the accompanying video has some beautiful imagery of Fall.
I hope you enjoy it!

“Sabbatical” – Piano Instrumental Interlude for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation
Dear friends,
I’m back. In case you didn’t notice, I haven’t released a new recording of my interludes through this “Worship Interludes Podcast” in nearly two full months. I basically took the entire Summer off. It was not planned. And although I’m calling this interlude “Sabbatical” – I can’t say I really took a true sabbatical. I did, however, give myself permission to hit pause on the producing of these interludes.
I’ve been transparent over the past year about my struggling to stay motivated. I’ve asked myself if the grace to continue these interludes is gone. Truthfully, I didn’t receive a single comment or message in two months asking about the absence of music. This only reinforced my questions about whether or not this process was continuing to bring value to the world.
Then I remembered something that is profoundly important. I remembered that the primary reason for sitting down in my studio and expressing myself in worship, prayer, and meditation through the playing of my instrument … it’s mostly for me. It’s for my soul. It’s for my mental, emotional, and physical health. Finally, it’s for my Maker. It’s a sacrifice of worship. I reminded myself that even if these episodes were never published into a podcast … even if they were never heard by another person … there is value in them.
The past couple of weeks have been tough. Here we thought that we were beyond this pandemic yet COVID comes back stronger than before and is wreaking havoc on many of the people that we love. The disease is awful but what it has done to our society is far worse. Whether it’s a debate about masks or vaccines, everyone is so polarized and strife is everywhere. I tend to spend too much time on social media and it only darkens my soul further. Compound this with political division that seemingly runs deeper than ever before … the amount of hostility, hate, strife, and stress is completely out of control.
That’s why I play. That’s why I record.And that’s why I share.To provide a safe space, a retreat … a “sabbatical” from the noise.
Join with me in prayer for our nation, our world, and all of God’s creation. Let’s join together and be a part of the solution to bring peace, unity, and hope. Let’s choose to press deeper into the Spirit, and walk away from foolish arguments and contentions that bring no value to this place we call home.
Shall we?
Grace and peace,Fred

“Mindful Moments, Op. 6” – Solo Piano Improvisation
The “Mindful Moments” series consists of shorter improvised interludes that I’ve recorded. I don’t always hit the record button with the intention of creating one of these. Sometimes, the melody comes and works its way around the piece and resolves beautifully in a shorter amount of time. Rather than force the improvisation into an extended arrangement, I keep it short.
That’s what happened this morning with the 6th piece in my “Mindful Moments” series. It’s under 4:00 and felt just right. Most people utilize these records as background music for their personal times of prayer, meditation, mindfulness, reflection, or relaxation. I’m well aware that a shorter interlude isn’t ideal for that usage. From my own life, I’m also painfully aware that if we are holding out for longer periods of meditation or prayer, they may not come at all. These short breaths are perfect for the drive to work or while running errands. Turn off the news or your favorite playlist and just use this track for a short time to breathe, slow down, pray, and reflect. It’s amazing what can happen as you “dial in” during these four minutes. Do you wear a fitness tracker? Go back and watch your heart rate slow down.
When I created the “Worship Interludes” Podcast more than three years ago, my desire was that people would find these improvisations as a soundtrack for them to slow down, center themselves, and re-establish their awareness of peace. As a Christian, it’s an opportunity to “be still and know” that God is present and that His Holy Spirit is right there, listening, guiding, and speaking to me. It helps me cut through the chaos and noise.
In whatever way you are using these interludes, my prayer is that you feel peace, cleansing, anointing, healing, and life.

“Creation” – Solo Piano Instrumental Music for Prayer, Meditation, Reflection, Relaxation
Today’s interlude is called “creation” because it’s been a minute since I felt creative. It’s been over a month – perhaps one of the longest droughts in my creative season since starting this Worship Interludes podcast. There’s a part of me that’s ashamed. I feel strongly that I was given this gift to bring a sense of peace and comfort into the world. It’s God-given and I feel that I’ve not been a good steward of it. But at the same time, I think I just needed a break.
One of the best things to kickstart the creative process is to find something new. That took me on an unexpected journey this morning to some new sound libraries that have a fresh new feel to them and immediately gave me the inspiration I was lacking. This track combines a tonic pad (root and fifth of the key) that sustains through a portion of the piece. It fades away for a brief period and returns at the end to close out the improvisation.
The piano sound here is brand new. It’s called “Soft Piano” and is part of the Labs experiment with Spitfire Audio. It’s eclectic and a producer friend of mine informed me this very sound is on so many hits.
I hope you enjoy this new sound and I hope you are still listening. More to come.

“Soak” – Solo Piano Improvisation for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation
It’s been a full month since I last recorded. That may be a record for the length of time I’ve taken off from the creative/recording process. I explained this in an email that I sent to my newsletter and patrons earlier this week. You can read that letter on my Facebook Page here.
Today’s interlude is a short, 6-minute improvisation. I think I had my eyes closed the entire time that I played this, just breathing slowly, embracing, and enjoying the process. I added a peaceful video of some ocean waves to set as the backdrop for the video.
I hope you enjoy it. It always encourages me to get a comment or response back when people listen. And thanks to you who have left reviews on your podcasting applications.

“The Darkness” – Solo Piano Instrumental Improvisation
Today’s episode is called “The Darkness” – it’s in the key of G-minor and has more of a dark, tense vibe. These are musical reflections of how I often feel when my prayer is filled with more concern or when I feel that I’m in spiritual warfare through my prayers.
As you listen, pray for those around you that may be struggling with darkness in their lives. This world is full of evil, darkness, and wickedness. No person is immune from its influence. Our prayer and worship is a weapon.

“Open Spaces” – Solo Piano Improvisation, Background Music for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Reflection, Devotion, Quiet Time, Soaking Worship
I normally record my interludes on Tuesday mornings. Yesterday was Tuesday and I got caught up working on some administrative tasks early in the morning and simply ran out of time. That’s usually the way things work – if I don’t do this recording in the early morning, it won’t happen. I felt a longing in my soul to record this morning so I came into my home studio this morning (Wednesday) and began to record.
This is a slow, open improvisation in the key of D-minor. I was thinking of vast open spaces – huge fields, or wide open stretch of beach, beautiful meadows filled with flowers, and even vast stretches of desert. Open space – there is a place for this in our lives. The same applies to our time. When is the last time you gave yourself a bit of “open space” in your schedule? I picked up a fantastic phrase from a friend of mine a while back which is “unhurried time”. I’ve been needing this in my life.
This piece is a great opportunity to slow down and enjoy some unhurried time. Breathe deeply and soak in these slow, intentional spaces.
Recently, I’ve been honored to receive some encouragement from people who are listening to this podcast. They are finding peace and rest in the midst of what some would say is the most difficult year in a very long time.
I am honored to bring you these improvised interludes as a means to help usher you into an environment and posture for prayer, meditation, worship, or quite simply – rest.
Thank you for listening,
Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

“Strength for the Weary” – Solo Piano Improvisation, Background Music for Prayer, Meditation, Soaking Worship, Intercession, Mindfulness, Studying, and Rest
Today’s interlude is called “Strength for the Weary”. It’s a gentle improvisation in the key of G Major. This morning I chose to only use the grand piano for the recording. I love having the extra pads and synths from time to time but love the space that is created when the only thing is the resonance of those piano strings.
I must be honest. I’ve struggled with recording these past few months. You could say I’ve grown weary of the commitment of doing this podcast. I ask myself, “has it served it’s purpose”? I sense that maybe the grace to continue has lifted. Then, I discipline myself, sit down, and play. I’ve never really regretted taking the time to do this.
I recognize that the war within me – that battle that grinds me down and makes me weary – it’s the same war we are all fighting. There is a battle that pulls us in every possible direction except that of stillness, solitude, peace, and quiet. Scripture refers to us having to “labor to enter God’s rest”. (Hebrews 4:11)
I hope that you will find strength in your weariness, and rest in your soul.
Thank you for listening.

“Peace Like A River” – Calm, Peaceful Piano Instrumental Improvisation
Today’s interlude is a slow, lyrical, expressive solo piano improvisation. I started with a C2 chord, thinking I would be in C, but the melody landed me into the Key of G. I was a bit rushed this morning but I felt the world slow down a bit as I began to play.
I don’t have a lot of backstory, inspiration, or meaning to try and write for this episode. I’ve also realized that trying to find “words” to describe these pieces is a task that often is lifeless and only discourages me from posting these episodes.
So I’ll just share the audio and video and let you find your own words.

“Calm the Soul” – Solo Piano Instrumental Music for Prayer, Meditation, Worship, Reflection, Relaxation
Today is Saturday, January 16th. I don’t often record on Saturday mornings but I woke up with some tension in my spirit and felt this was one of the best ways to soothe my soul. I’ve had this tension in my soul all week. I’ve always had what the Bible refers to as a “gift of discernment” – but sometimes, I discern that something is up, but I don’t know what it is. All I can do during these times is pray. I can only describe it as a sense of unrest.
Many times, as I pray and labor through these seasons, God will place people on my heart. I also find that I am constantly at war with presumptuous thoughts … wondering “is it this, or is it that”. Times like these call for trust.
There are so many reasons my soul could be at unrest. This pandemic we’ve been living through for nearly a year is wreaking havoc on people. The political unrest in our country is at levels I’ve never experienced in my lifetime. There are very troubling things happening in our country at what seems to be an alarming pace. I believe that so many things that happen in our world and lives are physical manifestations of things that are happening in the spiritual realm.
Even if you are not a spiritual person, you can most certainly identify with times where you felt a sense of unrest in your soul. We all have this awareness inside of us. Some are more sensitive than others.
Peaceful, soothing instrumental music is such a powerful way to bring a sense of calm to your troubled soul. Instrumental music transcends cultural, religious, and language barriers. When I begin to record, I pray and ask God of Peace to anoint the sound to bring healing and deliverance from anxiety, stress, and worry. It’s my hope that as you listen, your soul senses a peaceful, soothing calmness.
I am forever grateful that you are part of this journey with me. Thank you for listening to my music and sharing it with your family and friends. May you be touched deeply.
Grace and peace,

Personally, I would be hopeless if I did not have something … someONE … who I trust.Whom I believe in.Whom I know holds this messed up world in His hands.

“White as Snow” – Solo Piano Instrumental Improvisation by Fred McKinnon
Dear Friends,
MERRY CHRISTMAS. This morning’s improvisation is a soft, free-flowing piece in the key of Dm. I was imagining a peaceful, gentle snow falling. We rarely get to experience snowfall here in south Georgia but I’ve always loved seeing snow. As we approach our Christmas holiday, I’m reminded of the season and the reason that we celebrate. Christmas means so many things to me, but at the top of the list is a reminder of the incredible miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ.
I do fully realize that not everyone who listens to my music and these interludes is part of my Christian faith. If that is you, I hope that you are still able to fully embrace and receive the beauty, peace, and tranquility that I wanted to have expressed in this short instrumental interlude.
For those who celebrate Christmas as the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ – I am reminded that this baby, fully God and fully man, shed his blood for our sins. And in doing so, it makes us “white as snow”.
Merry Christmas, dear friends. May the peace of God be with you.
With love,Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

Psalm 91 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. I pray and recite it often as it’s a beautiful reminder of God’s protection for us. Our family recently had a terrifying experience that could have been really terrible. As it turned out, things worked out OK but I was reminded of how God is a Shelter for us – a protection like no other.
That was my posture this morning as I improvised this interlude. It’s open, airy, slow, and intentional.
I hope that you will take time to listen, slow down, breathe, and take it in.
Thank you for listening!

“Mindful Moments, Opus 4” – Short Piano Instrumental Improvisations by Fred McKinnon
Today’s interlude is part of my “Mindful Moments” series, which are shorter instrumental interludes that are designed for quick, impromptu moments of meditation, prayer, mindfulness, and relaxation. We are all so busy and life is moving so fast. It’s easy to assume that if you missed your longer session of quiet time that you should just skip it for the day. These shorter interludes can give you a quick escape even in the midst of the busiest of days.
This interlude utilizes one of my favorite musical progressions which is the minor6, the major5, and then the minor2. It has a haunting feel to it and I enjoy adding the minor9 to most of those chords which gives it a darker sound.
Thank you so much for listening to my music. I hope and pray that it brings you joy and peace.
