Lake Traveler

Welcome to the Lake Traveler world of Epic Romantic Fantasy!

Romantic Fantasy

I was editing Silvermist, Book One in my Lake Traveler Saga of fantasy novels when the music first came to me. At the time, I did not know that it was only the first of many songs and poems that would help flesh out my stories, introduce new characters, and guide me to continue the series.

If you enjoy fantasy (esp. High Fantasy) and romance, if you like Shakespeare, epic or romantic poetry, love ballads, Celtic music or medieval music, if you are a fan of musicals, you will love my music. It's been described as GoT meets LoTR with a lyrical twist and a musical theatre vibe.

Come and explore the Lake Traveler worlds and music with me!

The Music!

“I’ve heard your work before and I love it for real. Every time I hear your work I know it belongs as a soundtrack for movies. It’s perfect, very cinematic.”

— Peabody Prodigy, RealTalkRadio

“I love it. It [Fly, Dragonfly] belongs in a movie.”

— Sal Fuentes

“ Fly, Dragonfly is like an old romantic movie song. I love that type of movies. It makes me think of La Vie En Rose. That timeless romantic song that people think of for generations. The one they played in the Sabrina movie. ”

— Lilyana Fuentes

“'You always have such beautiful, emotional songs! This one [Spellbound] feels like being transported into an enchanted fantasy world!'”

— Madeleine Miles, romantic fantasy author

“A breath of fresh air! A welcome break from your edgy emo grimdark hogwash! Take off those black t-shirts and put on the floral colors of the changing seasons!”

— Terry Palino, writer

“I have so thoroughly enjoyed Cassia's beautiful, melodic songs. The lyrics create so many interesting, thought- provoking and lovely visions in one's mindseye. As a vocalist, I have been extremely impressed with the talented men and women who have been selected to sing, as well as the other musicians who play on these songs. First class all the way! ”

— Claudia Nash, vocalist

“You are an amazing composer. This song [Fly, Dragonfly] touches my heart so much. Keep making good music. ”

— Ester Azeredo, vocalist

“Magical, Mythical and Mysterious - these are just a few words to describe Cassia Hall’s musical compositions. With the help of an ensemble of talented musicians and vocalists, her songs are brought to life, and you are transported to other places, other times and other worlds. Listen carefully to the lyrics as they create musical scenes to spark anyone’s imagination. Combine these song experiences with her outstanding poetry and romantic fantasy novels and you have sights and sounds for the senses.”

— Jim Hebert, musician

“Your music brings to me memories I would have if I'd lived somewhere far, far away in the world of mysteries and tales. It takes me back to where I haven't been but would have, had I lived amongst bright castles and huge forests in a long-ago, forgotten land. Back to a time that is neither in the past nor the future. It just is...here, in our imagination. ”

— Gustė Galuškinaitė, pianist and composer

“When listening to the music of Cassia Hall, I was reminded of musicals at their best. Something that you would expect from an animated movie like Anastasia. It’s natural, heart-warming and nurturing. Makes something rise inside one’s soul and brings to mind ancient times of royal balls and knights’ jousts. Sometimes sad and nostalgic, reminiscent of lost childhood, but always full of inner strength. Her music is really deep and able to send chills down your spine when it's a villain's song or evoke softness and gentleness when listening to one of the lullabies.”

— Daiva Paskauskaite, writer and otaku

“Cassia's music evokes other times and worlds. It brings to mind twilight glades, forbidden loves, unrequited longing, and magical moments that make the impossible seem possible.”

— R.L. Fuentes, author
