    Night Passage CD by Libana Night Passage
    Libana
     (© Libana, 2000) 
     From Libana: “In seeking the music that would be included in this album (the third in a trilogy that began with  A Circle Is Cast and Fire Within), we found ourselves instinctively drawn to songs that evocatively portray the cyclical nature of life. The sixteen songs we chose, each in its own inspiring and soothing way, reflect upon the personal and universal themes of life, death, renewal, and the longing for mystical connection. Woven throughout are images of the eternal circling of the heavens, the potent cycles of the moon, the earth's perpetual turning from equinox to solstice, a powerful cross-cultural belief in a spiritual dimension, and the fundamental human need to mourn, take solace, and experience unbounded hope and joy.” $16    Learn to sing these beautiful songs with the Night Passage Songbook ,  $14
