Songs of the Soul

One Voice is excited to present our first CD, Songs of the Soul. This collection of recordings had its birth at a One Voice concert in January 2000. The concert, also entitled Songs of the Soul, was a weaving of songs inspired by a variety of spiritual traditions and yearnings of the soul. While many of the CD selections come from that original concert, other recordings from the past five years of OVMC history have also been incorporated. The music and poetry of these pieces speak to the deepest stirrings of the soul and were favorites of audience members as well singers.

We are especially delighted by the generous support of donors who sponsored tracks for this CD.
