The Saddest Word of all is Love

the saddest word of all is Love
it cries tears that turn its head
to gaze on the arguments of the undead
as they pretend to fight for life
under the shadow of another dark night
where upon the dying deeds already done
it treatens to break the hearts of everyone
to speak a spoken word so rare - so kind
under the shadow of another distant kiss
two hearts prepare to miss each other
one has given her heart to another
under the shadow of another dark night
two eyes wallow in the sadness of life.

About Intermezzo D'Anniversaire by Danae Vlasse: This piece is a Theme and Variations on the famous Op118 No2 Intermezzo by  Johannes Brahms. It develops my favorite 8 measure theme from the original work and was specifically composed in the style of Brahms. The second section in this piece is built on specific pitches such that it incorporates a message for the recipient of the commission "Joyeux Anniversaire Karen" ("Happy Birthday Karen").

Winner: MTAC Composers Today 2014 First Place in Composition "Advanced Work" Category.

Winner: Radio Music Awards 2016 "Best Classical Recording" Category.

The piano score is available for purchase - contact the composer for information! 

PS: A BIG Thank you to Daniel (Zeitfaktor) for his help with re-mastering this audio file! :-)

Intermezzo D'Anniversaire (remastered by Zeitfaktor) :-)

After spending some forced time recuperating from a hospital procedure this is what I was feeling when I sat at the piano today!

It's a little on the "dark" side not because anything went wrong, but recuperation is quite boring!

Deliberation

Some people ask: can one make a living from music? Let me ask back: can one make a living without music?
