About this product

Product Information

The composition of music for the text of A Celtic Mass for Peace by Celtic spirituality author, speaker, theologian, and poet John Philip Newell, is a result of a collaboration born of the meeting of Dr. Newell and Vermont scholar/composer/teacher Sam Guarnaccia. This collaboration has resulted in a trans-Atlantic journey during which the work has evolved from its simple beginning of seven song/chants into its present form of ten sections, a full overture with nine songs and eight musical interludes. It has been performed and celebrated in many forms on both sides of the Atlantic, from simple liturgical settings on the island of Iona, Scotland, to concert settings in Nashville, Cincinnati, Lexington, and Edinburgh among others.The present recording of 'A Celtic Mass for Peace, Songs for the Earth' with musicians and singers from both Scotland and the United States of many diverse heritages, was made in the Vermont landscape where both words and music were written, and is a reflection and expression of the theology/spirituality of liberation and inclusiveness far beyond the confines of any single tradition. From an unusual blend of classical and Celtic instruments, a distinctive harmonic space and melodic texture emerge, a mystical Celtic vocabulary of sound and feeling, beautifully recorded on location by the renowned jazz pianist and recording artist Chuck Eller.The enclosed booklet contains the complete text of the song lyrics and the eight spoken prayer-songs for which the eight instrumental tracks were written to reflect their substance, spirit, and rhythm. This recording represents one of many possible instrumental and vocal expressions of the words and music.
