IN THE HEART OF THE DESERT
Songs, chants & meditations
for the journey
What do you get when you put Cyprian Consiglio, OSB, a Camaldolese monk known for his experimentation with chant forms and John Pennington, a world-class percussionist/music professor together in one room? You might end up with In the Heart of the Desert, a collection of music that crosses boundaries to find the sacred sound at the heart of the spiritual journey.
This collection is a mix of instrumentals and songs with rhythms from around the world. The song texts are drawn from a wellspring of ancient sacred sources -- Buddhist and Hindu as well as Christian. In the Heart of the Desert features an array of unusual percussion instruments including the mbira, crotales, caxixi, shekere, congas, Filipino buzzing sticks and many others.
