The new album diverges
in some ways from the earlier ones. We have included 2 vocal pieces on the album,
which is quite exciting for a mostly instrumental group. One of the songs is
performed by Fionnuala and is called "Sona" it will be the
very first time you hear her singing. The other song is called "Prayer"
and is performed by the Scottish singer Karen Matheson from the group Capercaillie.
Those of you who have seen the film Rob Roy will also know that she performed
the beautiful lament in the film. We have also worked with vocals in sections
of songs performed by the Norwegian singer Anne Karin Kaasa, and the Paris-based
American singer Nikki
Matheson.
A majority of the music is still instrumental melody driven in crossover
between classical and traditional - inspired by Celtic and Norwegian music.
The foundation established in our two first albums that our music is
our passion and our hearts speaking - is still the essence in everything we
are doing.
