Customer Reviews

A great introduction to Western roots
It's amazing how modern ancient music sounds. This is an excellent introduction to diverse roots of Western music and an outrageous bargain at this price. All the performances are good. If you, like me, enjoy World music, jazz and classical, I predict you will like this album for all of the same reasons.

Very Mellow and Relaxing
This collection is filled with choral numbers sure to mellow you right the *#** out.
