CD A0094: Lulling the Soul

Lulling the Soul
Dominique Piana with Joyce Geeting (cello), Dan Geeting (clarinet)

CD CoverThroughout the world, is there anything more universal than the mother lulling her child to sleep? When this pair, bound in mutual love, becomes Mary and the child Jesus, the scene takes on a whole new symbolic dimension and added emotional impact. All living creatures become involved in the magical expression of Love, warmly embraced by the powerful breath of the starry night celebrated at Christmas.

CD Notes & Credits

Sleeve Notes

Throughout the world, is there anything more universal than the mother lulling her child to sleep? When this pair, bound in mutual love, becomes Mary and the child Jesus, the scene takes on a whole new symbolic dimension and added emotional impact. All living creatures become involved in the magical expression of Love, warmly embraced by the powerful breath of the starry night celebrated at Christmas.

From the most intimate lullaby to dances of joy around the manger, carols draw us to the shining Presence. Beyond our cultural boundaries, there is a secret identification with the Child, as He comes to represent each one of us in infancy, a tiny seed of the Spirit called forth to the great adventure of the Heart.

In this album, dearly familiar melodies have been carefully combined with engaging novel tunes to celebrate the Nativity at the level of the Soul.
