Name: Dance Of Redemption by Kathleen Russo
Duration: 3 min 24 s
Description: Energetic dance imbued with tension frenzy and eventual release into the major key. It reminded me of a tarantella.

Couldn’t sleep with the tune in my head. First song I’d written since the 90’s. Written September 2022.

Equinox

EQUINOX

This song almost was included as an instrumental on Relativity in the late nineties.

CAMENA SIMPLEX

I woke up with this tune in my head April 2023. I didn't want humans dancing for the art work and asked Paul to find something with foxes "dancing" (like when we see the kits tumble around in our yard).

Spring Waltz

The germ of this song was written in the late 90's. Paul traveled frequently for work and would not be able to communicate from many countries.

Lost Message

Energetic dance imbued with tension frenzy and eventual release into the major key. It reminded me of a tarantella.

Dance Of Redemption

Jazzy piece describes the chaotic fun of toddlers.

Kids

When the situation seems dire, buck up, work together, make it better, make it work.

Resolution

This songs speaks of joy, contentment, appreciation and celebration.

Grateful Heart

When you have done something that you regret, and you berate yourself. But then stop with empathy.

Fool's Remorse

Finally the Muse visited me on Wednesday night. Since I'm happily retired, I sat down and started writing this on Thursday and Friday; arranged it on Saturday; and polished it on Sunday. The next week, after listening to it multiple times, I edited, edited, edited until it felt right.

The Muse

After a twenty-year hiatus, composer and lyricist Kathleen Russo woke up one morning with a song in her head. That wasn’t unusual. As a veteran of the NYC indie music scene in the Seventies, she had written scores of songs. As life took a turn that included kids and a career, she wrote dozens more. But that day, with that song in her head, Kathleen didn’t pick up pen and paper. Technology had given wing to Kathleen and her music, helping her to both create new works and begin to produce her extensive collection of songs.
Kathleen Russo’s music is not easy to classify. Influences—from Dave Brubeck and Joni Mitchell to Johann Sebastian Bach—are as diverse as the subjects from which she draws inspiration. “Discord” is Kathleen’s response to the war in Ukraine and political tension. “Pacific Kaleidoscope” is her attempt to capture the music of a sunset. “Better Angels” rises from the hopes she has for mankind.
Kathleen is grateful to have returned to creating music and for the opportunity to reach a wide audience. She is delighted to share with you the work of her lifetime.
