Dark Dreams
Rain Worthington
About this work:
Recorded & released: Moods-Piano Music by American Women Composers, Max Lifchitz, pianist-North/South Recordings
"Rain Worthington’s piano compositions are quite striking in terms of the mood each of them sets and also the way she seems to always get mileage out of her materials. There is a surprise for the ear at every turn. She weaves melodic lines in an almost magical way, always leading the ear to unexpected places!"
– Max Lifchitz, pianist North/South Recordings
Program note: “Dark Dreams” was inspired by a painting by Jared FitzGerald. The germinating idea for the piece relates to its image of an angel in the moonlight, wrestling with a shadowy figure. “Dark Dreams” extends the metaphor to the struggles with “emotional demons” confronted in life.
