Search - Anna Schaad :: The Journey

"The Journey" featuring Anna Schaad's renowned violin voice, is her third release. A blending of classical, Celtic and world influence, "The Journey" reflects Schaad's innovative eclectic style - a style that has earned her a remarkably diverse audience. Her classically sophisticated melodies ripe with raspy blues riffs, rocking lead solos and Celtic yarns appeal to young and old alike. According to Schaad, "My music is intended for listeners of all ages and all walks of life. It is my desire to reach something universal inside of people - the longing to find inspiration and beauty in life, and to tempt people to explore their own divine creative impulse." Schaad's talents as a composer and classically trained violinist, coupled with her unquenchable passion for diverse musical styles from around the world has led her to cross traditional musical boundaries. According to Schaad, "My music isn¹t easily defined; it reflects my background in classical music, as well as folk, tribal and popular genres that speak to me as I move through life; If I had to give it a name, I would describe it as neo-classical world music, or possibly neo-classical pop." "The Journey" is more than just a musical work. It is the story of a woman's journey into a parallel universe - a Supernatural world filled with limitless possibilities, secrets, and inspiration. Each of the twelve pieces is a chapter in this epic tale. A beautifully illustrated twenty page booklet contains the full story in Schaad¹s own fluent prose. The enchanting tale lends the listener a deeper understanding of concepts and imagery inherent in the music.
