The music on the CD (set for release on Feb. 6 2008) brings some famous saints to life. It focuses on their life story, their struggles, and their sacred beauty. The music blends ambient, classical, jazz, and some world music styles together to create a rich musical landscape. A special piece on the album is also an innovative, contemporary arrangement of “Amazing Grace”.

Previous Album: Shi Jing – Ancient Book of Songs

This CD was Colin’s first with the ensemble Donohoe. It was recorded soon after his time with New Moon Orchestra. It is a wonderful fusion of traditional Chinese music and text, with modern electronic instruments. A truly masterful blend….
