about

Halcyon Interlude is really an improvisation on the form of a song I wrote called Halcyon. I thought this improvisation worked in a lyrical kind of way, that perhaps garnered it having its own title. The use of the term halcyon is in reference to aspects of my childhood which, because of my parents and their close friends, truly felt like Halcyon days, in spite of a less than diverse and less than welcoming external environment. But inside our respective homes, our elders and those they knew, countered the outside world, making childhood feel like halcyon days.
