Soul Journey CD Cover

This collection of sacred choral works has taken the name "Soul Journey" because it suggested such a journey in many different ways. Journeys can be seen through the music's various liturgical functions or genesis, through its representation of different genres, as well as each composer's relation to his combination of text and music. It certainly has been a musical journey for Canticum and we hope it will be so for our listeners!
