Blessed Spirit a Soul's Journey
The theme of this album is the music of heaven and our journey to heaven.  There are 3 distinct sections, each introduced by a gregorian chant, and drawing its inspiration from a number of genres.  The first section is devoted to music of mourning and remembrance, the second, to thoughts of the soul's destination, the third and final section, moves on to heaven itself. The booklet describes each piece's significance in detail also.  Track Listing1. Requiem aeternam2.
