By Nigel Westlake and Lior with the Murray River Fine Music Ensemble
A song cycle composed by Nigel Westlake and Lior that blends the richness of ancient Arabic and Hebrew texts to present a collection of profound and poetic messages surrounding the idea of compassion between human beings. It unites different musical voices and influences from the diverse backgrounds of the two creators, and shares with us insights into the wisdom of compassion gained from poems, proverbs and songs.
