This music was created in an atmosphere of joy and worship, and influenced by prayers for beauty and peace. The Psalms have brought solace to many who seek answers, and here they are offered up in a musical setting, as they were originally meant to be experienced. The particular ones chosen came from intuitive yearnings, hidden connections and the beauty of nature wanting to be expressed in praise. Yvonne Bruner, vocalist and lyricist, began her career with the avant garde band Big Hat.
