Does anyone know this piano song?

Does anyone know about this piano song? Maybe it's George Winston's.

I've been searching for this unknown song listening sample music from George Winston's Albums on Amazon. So far I got nothing. Maybe I am wrong about the auther in the first place. The bottom line is that it is a piano song.

Since there is no lyric in the song it is extremely hard to find what the song is.

Anyone who has any information about this song or possible authers please let me know.

Here is a youtube link to the song in question:

Wal-mart has a lot of George Winston tracks for online preview; it's not any of the ones with length 1:50 to 2:10. I realize that's not super-helpful.

I can't tell because of the rather rough quality of the recording, but are those synth strings in the background?

To narrow it down, I believe that song is either a George Winston composition (try songs from the albums Autumn or Winter Into Spring), or David Lanz's Return to the Heart album.

Why do I believe this? Well, these were the only albums of solo piano I owned once upon a time (other than the soundtrack for Out of Africa) and I know that song that you linked to very well. So, my guess is that it is on one of those three albums.

Wait! I take that back. That's the theme from On Golden Pond.

Yup. Just found the recording in the iTunes Music Store. Absolutely the Theme from On Golden Pond which has been covered by many pianists. But I think that is Dave Grusin.

(God, I am just realizing what an extreme geek I really am.)

Bill, just don't tell anyone that I answered your question because my reputation would be wrecked more than it already is. That's thanks enough.

I more geeky news, I may even have THE PIANO MUSIC for this score. Somewhere. In my parent's basement.
