These six songs of medium to high difficulty are written on spiritual texts from Rumi, Shem Tov Ben Palquera [Sephardic], Eugene Guillevic, Robert Creely and Nancy Knowles. All in English translations or originals, the songs progress from jarring anger to calm, quiet love.
"'A Single Veil' seems to me the most interesting piece of music for voice and guitar which I've come across during at least the past twenty years." Christian Kellnberger, guitarist from Munich, Germany
