The present release features a compelling new oratorio by American composer, Carson Cooman, with libretto by Euan Tait. “Our world and our lives are transformational and in constant transformation, and this work is the music of those transformations. The earth we live on does not stay still but evolves and changes; our lives are changed through our own personal struggles, through meetings with those whose difference from us becomes a teacher, with sudden catalytic events, and from the daily, determined creativity of love working and spreading outwards from our humanity” (Carson Cooman).

Rapture and beauty are qualities common to the other fine works presented here – coupled with a truly individual approach to even the most familiar texts” (George Richford).
