Voices of the Pearl - Volume I [MUSIC COMPACT DISC]

In its first three years, the project has commissioned 12 works, recorded half of these, and in 2014, released a recording of the first three cycles of vocal chamber music by composers Kati Agócs, Moshe Shulman and Yii Kah Hoe, singing these cycles in the original Farsi, Hebrew and Mandarin. Voices of the Pearl "traces, in newly commissioned song cycles, the tenuous lineage of women who dared to encounter the unmediated divine; their efforts span time, religion, nation and culture." The first release was supported, in part, by a prestigious commissioning grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. CONTENTS: [1] Song of Songs (Shulman); [2] The Secret Book of Sun Bu'er (Yii); [3] Divan-i Hayati (Agocs). CONDITION: a pristine factory-sealed (shrink-wrapped) copy with no apparent shelf-wear.
