The sequel to their acclaimed women's spirituality album A Circle Is Cast! Synthesizing their two musical identities -- as performers of ethnic music and of music for ritual -- this 1990 release features rounds, chants and songs for ritual and celebration, from medieval, Native American, African, Shaker, Japanese, Jewish, Hawaiian, Swedish, German, and contemporary American sources. Its primarily acappella form gives it a very meditational feel, yet there is a bit more of an instrumental presence here; several selections feature subtle percussion, hammer dulcimer, psaltery, recorders, and/or drone instruments. Includes The Earth Is a Woman; Neesa, by a contemporary Seneca woman; Tree Planter's Round, Clear Horizon, Rise Up O Flame, O Virgo Splendens (O Resplendent Virgin) and many more. We're proud and excited to offer you -- on the Ladyslipper label -- Libana's best work yet! Accompanying songbook also available. Very highly recommended!
