The Very Lovely and Goddess Inspired Music

 of Laura Powers

" Legends of the Goddess", "Beyond the Pale: Legends of the Goddess II" and “Trilogy: Legends of the Goddess III” make up the three-volume “Legends of the Goddess” series, which feature musical themes based on the Celtic Goddess of ancient myth. Powers' fascination and extensive research in Celtic mythology, combined with her talent as a singer/songwriter, led her to the creation of this project.

Musically, the influence of European pop can be heard throughout the records, and lyrically, it is the metaphysical/mythological aspect of Legends that is the central focus. The first CD includes "Tir Na Nog" (Land of the Ever Young) a Celtic/Euro-pop reverie about the mystical land of the Ever Young; "Samhain Madrigal," which heralds the coming of the Celtic "season of darkness" and "Circle of Stone," a majestic look at Stonehenge and the feeling of having been there before. The first album ends, appropriately, with "Song of One." "I wanted a song to hold the album together," says Powers. "This song speaks of the oneness of all people everywhere which I felt was a good place to sign off."

The response and success of her first CD encouraged her to record the second on her label, Red Harp Records. "Beyond the Pale: Legends of the Goddess II" continues the musical journey, reintroducing goddess imagery in "Goddess of the Sea Mist", "Sisters of the Wind" and "In the Arms of the Milky Way," allowing us to soar alongside them in their mystical world. "Long Way Down" is a stirring song about continuing to miss someone after they've passed on. "Sometimes you don't feel like you've made much progress in getting over a loss. We maintain and push on with life, but there is a hole, and this song is about the pain that can resurface.” The blissful "Sailing Home" closes the second album.

The third CD “Trilogy: Legends of the Goddess III brings the series full circle and while it continues themes touched on in the previous titles, this third CD incorporates world music “The World is a River” and contemporary alternative music “Get Inside.” The end-cap piece, “Silver Wheel” (the Celtic symbol for the cycle of nature), ties the 3-CD collection together and includes a reprise of “Winter of Dreams,” from the first CD, Legends of the Goddess. Once again, the final CD is enhanced with the use of uncommon instruments such as Highland pipes, as well as Powers’ distinctive oil paintings, which adorn all three CD covers.
