Steven Halpern's Transitions is an instrumental album of songs to help someone deal with loss and grief. These minor key piano compositions are the epitome of sentimental, utilizing button-pushing key changes and gentle instruments. Of course, this is the exact purpose of the album, and it does quite well at achieving its goal. Anyone looking for some comforting music without lyrics to dictate the subject matter should try this, there are many good songs that should be helpful to those in need of sympathy.
