Movement I: Mercy

We have slaughtered
In the garden of Beauty
Digging graves instead of planting
Mercy for the crucified
A bitter Justice
Begging eternity for love.

(text and translation from Hungarian by Alanis Morissette)


9 Movements... sung in English, Hungarian, French, Urdu, Mali, Hebrew,
Spanish, German.... featuring Alanis Morissette, James Taylor, Ofra
Haza, Musrat Fatem Ali Khan, Linda Ronstadt, Salif Keita, Richard
Bona... and a host of others... English Chamber Choir, John Williams
on Guitar... and a host of others....

And absolutely sublime............................ dazzling.

This looks far more interesting than the usual run of these
international collaborations. I assume (and hope) that the general tone
does not remain as grim as your quote--right now I don't think I could
listen to a whole album like that. But I will look into this--thanks
for the heads-up.

A visit to Amazon will give you 30 second samples.... and rave
reviews.

And again, the 3rd movement HOPE was used for the Kingdom of Heaven
trailer.
