Join Cyprian Consiglio and John Pennington for an exotic musical journey
from the tropical coasts of Africa and Brazil to the heights and depths
of the soul. Featuring a playful, richly layered world-music sound,
Compassionate and Wise CD offers 12 new, original songs that
explore mystical poetry from around the globe.
Songs exploring mystical poetry from around the world
At turns whimsical and philosophical, surreal and profound, the texts
reflect a range of cultures and spiritual traditions, from Hindu to
Christian. Poets include St. Thomas Aquinas, Maya Angelou, Frederico
García Lorca and the Chinese Buddhist Metta Sutta. Three of the most
enchanting songs are set to poems by Hafiz, the great Sufi mystic.
Texts from a variety of cultures and spiritual
traditions
The Day Sky presents a striking image of humility, asking Let us be
like/ Two falling stars in the day sky/ As we hold hands with God/
And burn. The title track touches on the healing power of unity: Because our
hearts are one/ this world of pain turns into paradise./ May all become
compassionate and wise.
The latest collaboration by Cyprian Consiglio and John Pennington
Good friends and great musicians, Cyprian and John have worked together
on six previous recordings, including Awakeninga nd The
Song of Luke. This collaboration features Cyprian on
acoustic guitar, lead vocals and, on some tracks, the lute-like
tambura. Bassist Bryan Kuban, vocalists John Mareineke and Shannon
Frediani, and violinist Mikylah Myers McTeer provide accompaniment.
Features a mind-boggling array of percussion
instruments
A percussion virtuoso, John plays a mind-boggling array of instruments
here, from finger cymbals to bodhram (Celtic frame drum), from maraca sto glockenspiel.
Others include the riqq (like a
tambourine, used in Arabic music), mbira (a
wooden board with staggered metal keys, from Africa), cajón (a box
drum, from Peru), crotales (antique
cymbals), vibraphone, marimba, and wind chimes. Each adds its distinct
voice, rhythm and musical color to the songs.
Toying with mysteries that have puzzled seekers from every age, the
music of Compassionate
and Wise CD leads
listeners to a serene, otherworldly place, far from the mundane. |
