Night Passage
Media Reviews
"Exquisite, soul piercing, transcendent music. We give Night Passage our very highest recommendation." LAURIE FUCHS, LADYSLIPPER RECORDS
"This beautifully produced recording showcases the women's voices, by turns delicate, angelic, mesmerizing, and powerful...I think of Libana as a choir of the Goddess, and Night Passage confirms their position of producing music that is both sonically beautiful and spiritually relevant to seekers of any path"CARL McCOLMAN, SHEWINGS NEWSLETTER
"This CD resonates with the spiritual power of a Gregorian chant, but includes spiritual messages from other religious traditions." CIRCLE MAGAZINE, MOUNT HOREB, WI
" Libana ('s)...breathtaking harmonies, marvelous rhythmic sense, and flawless pitch seem grounded in a collective commitment to planetary stewardship and intercultural fellowship... Play it in-store and people will beg for more." NAPRA REVIEW
"...All are sung with Libana's unique vocal congruence, perhaps best described as silver strands of sound...The sound is distinctive and unrivaled--and unforgettable... Contemplative, meditative and transporting, Libana's Night Passage is an enriching experience for anyone's ear and mind." THE ORFF ECHO (PUBLICATION OF THE ORFF-SCHULWERK MUSIC EDUCATOR'S ASSOCIATION) "...The women's voices lift to the very stars in exquisite harmony...this music is the perfect vehicle for explorations of both mystical and spiritual natures, for meditation, or for other quiet forms of being. You will find not only a sense of wonder when you listen, but a sense of self and how you fit into the schemes of the universe, and a deep and abiding sense of peace." THE GREEN MAN REVIEW
"...Beginning with the haunting round "Whatever Circles Comes from the Center", listeners will revel in the beautifully-blended unisons and the extraordinary harmony of this ensemble...The recording's theme, life's cyclical nature, is beautifully conveyed throughout in Libana's own unique way...The group's members have created an exquisite musical journey for their listeners." THE KODALY ENVOY (PUBLICATION OF THE KODALY ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC EDUCATORS)
"...the eight women who make up Libana are far too interested in multi-cultural music to settle for self-absorbed musings...though many (of the songs) radiate soothing harmonies, a colorful array of traditional folk themes and distinctive arrangements keep sleep-inducing lulls at bay..." THE WASHINGTON POST
" ...it has the same generous, inclusive spirit that has become a Libana trademark...This is a thoughtful CD, with a gentle elegance that celebrates the strength of cycles of life." DIRTY LINEN
