A WORD ABOUT "SONGS OF LIFE" Eileen Mager

All of my life, I've been fascinated by and often humbled by the extraordinary strength and resilience of the human spirit. Our capacity for love, humor, spirituality, and joy, often in spite of whatever reverses and downright horrors and tragedies life may dish out. We are inspired by life's challenges, each other, all of nature, our connection with our Deity, the beauty that surrounds us, music, and life itself. These songs express those sources of inspiration. We begin with "Darest Thou Now, O Soul" a challenge to one's own soul to walk out "toward the Unknown Region" to take on life's adventure. We continue with songs expressing a lifetime of experiences and responses to them responsesliturgical songs, and a Benjamin Britten song which has perhaps the oddest expression of faith and worship I have ever encountered "For I Will Consider My Cat, Jeoffry." It all concludes with Bach's song of reconciliation with the spiritual, "Wie freudig ist mein Herz" ("How Joyful Is My Heart"). I was assisted in this project by some wonderful musicians and friends: pianist/organist Ellen Brown, bassoonist John Friedeman, flutist Lisa Tharp, and violinist Jim Apperson. "Songs of Life" is, to say the least, an eclectic collection. But then, isn't life a mixed bag as well? I hope you enjoy them...More https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/emager7
