Soundings (1993)

1993 – Ossian Publications / 1995 – SoundsTrue

Exquisite works of spiritual devotion from many traditions, lovingly selected and voiced by “Ireland’s living treasure”, Nóirín Ní Riain. Soundings gathers together 15 songs of faith – and gives them wings, through Ní Riain’s uplifting interpretations. From a Scottish folk prayer (“The River and the Ocean”) to a bhajan of India’s famous medieval saint (“Ode to Mirabai”); from a heavenly masterpiece composed in the 12th century by Hildegard of Bingen to Shaker hymns and Irish laments, Soundings invites listeners to rejoice along with this voice from heaven. Chamber orchestra accompaniment.
