Imagination's Light is the seventh studio album (ninth album overall) from American new-age pianist Kevin Kern. As with his preceding albums, it is an album of instrumental tunes, with the addition of a cover version of "Fields of Gold" by Sting. The album, a reminiscence of Kern's childhood playing piano in a darkened room lit by the fireplace, was released on July 19, 2005.[1]

Before creating this album, Kern was invited to become a Steinway Artist, so for this album he played a Steinway concert grand piano made in Hamburg, Germany. An accompanying piano songbook was released in 2008 containing the ten compositions by Kern, written for the intermediate piano student.[2]

Dedication

In the accompanying booklet, Kevin Kern writes that "Keepers of the Flame" on an ancient Gregorian chant called "Pange Lingua". It is dedicated to Pope John Paul II.
