Music

Featuring the exquisite voices of Rachel Major, Emma Lewendon and Fleur Missaghian as well as Richard on voice & various instruments. 12 new settings of the writings of Baha'u'llah, Abdu'l-Baha, The Bab & Madame Rabbani.

"Many of the tracks on Richard's new CD, Seed, echo folk riffs, while some have a more classical feel, but without using classical formalities. 'My Healing' and 'The Remover of Difficulties' both magically weave Iranian chanting into the predominantly Western mode of the music. Overall, a reflective spirituality radiates from these settings of Baha'i sacred texts." Barney Leith

The Cd is Eco-packaged with a 12 individual images by artist Sophia Hurst in a 28 page booklet using only natural inks. No plastic involved!
