A Winter's Tale

Femine Energy

The Dark Moon

An expression of painful elements: confinement, loneliness, and failing to attain what one is reaching for. The middle section (starting in Gb major) offers a little solace, but is only fleeting.

Composition Notes: 

“Go Anywhere” is a composition that originally was written in the early stages of a relationship. The spark of this new connection poured over into my music writing and helped initially birth the piece. Shortly after the initial writing of the piece though the woman told me she “didn’t see this going anywhere”. The ending opened up a vista of possibilities and freedom that carried over to the song as well. Unlike other pieces I’ve written, just when I thought I had finished writing it, a new aspect of it unfolded and revealed itself to me. Over the course of almost two years it’s continued to evolve and grow sounding very different than when it originally came to be. 

This is by no means a “final” version of the song. Even after I recorded the piece new aspects of it came to the surface. I can imagine “Go Anywhere” in a variety of instrument configurations and arrangements. I imagine it will continue to grow and evolve going wherever it chooses.

Go Anywhere

Hand-Built Dream was inspired by a visit with my friend and fellow pianist Greg Maroney at his home in rural Pennsylvania. The idyllic, bucolic musical sanctuary he and his partner have created for themselves was such a magical, shining place that I began writing this piece on his Steinway.

This is Track 5 of The 52, a project in which Rachel LaFond is releasing a new single every week for a year.

Hand-Built Dream

Her pain was overwhelming--to her as well as me. The loss of a dear friend, was too much for her to bare. She felt an empty, helpless despair. She felt powerless. She felt alone...
