Heaven and Earth

There is such sonic beauty and musical complexity in every track that layers and layers of harmony just keep pouring out into the listening space… one listen to this disc and you will realize the spirituality in all of humanity.

“There is such sonic beauty and musical complexity in every track that layers and layers of harmony just keep pouring out into the listening space. Unlike masses and requiems in which vocals and messages are conveyed in varying moods and intensity, passages in this composition are quite uniform in mood minus whispery chants in one track and earth-shattering proclamations in another. One can play this all day and the music will continue to sound fresh. … the music of this production stands on its own merits and needs not be appreciated by only the religious.… This recording represents one of the few experiences of vocals I can recall that is so free of compression, in a performance so spirited and a recording so airy. Guided listening can undoubtedly make for a highly coordinated exercise in worship, but one listen to this disc and you will realize the spirituality in all of humanity. This release raises the bar for the Byzantine chant subsection within the vocal music category… but the music is worthy of being appreciated on its own. As such, the experience is at once not necessarily religious but spiritual and open to all.”
