King's Singers and Sarband Explore the Parallels between Jewish, Christian and Muslim Liturgical Music, Creating Sacred Bridges

The world’s foremost a capella ensemble, The King’s Singers and Middle Eastern early music specialists, Sarband, will tour North America this fall with the program from their new release “Sacred Bridges” released on World Village. “Sacred Bridges” demonstrates similarities between the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths. Using these sacred texts as a bridge, the artists aim to reach a place of understanding and tolerance between the adherents of the three major faiths - a shared foundation for trust. Settings of the Psalms of David, revered and extolled in each of the three monotheistic religions, are by composers from the 16th and 17th centuries, performed in Hebrew, French and Turkish.  11/04/05 >> go there
