Notes
"There is some kiss we want with our whole lives,
the touch of spirit on the body."
Jelaluddin Rumi, 13th Century Sufi mystic, is considered by many to be the world's greatest spiritual poet. His powerful poems on the longing of human beings for reunion with the divine, on the many-faceted mysteries of love, and of encouragement on the spiritual path, have inspired countless people for centuries.
To this very day, throughout the Middle East, Rumi's poetry is not only read from books but also sung, accompanied by musical instruments. This recording brings Rumi's translated lyrics back into this rich, ancient tradition of poetry set to music. With these gorgeous melodies, Rumi's lines dance off the page! These newly created settings, beautifully sung and performed on a variety of instruments, bring the magic of music to these timeless lyrics.
Coleman Barks is the foremost translator of Rumi's poetry, and largely responsible for making Rumi the most widely read poet in America today.
Laszlo Slomovits is one of the twin brothers in the family music duo, Gemini. His songs are featured on award-winning recordings, and used in schools throughout the country. In addition, he has a previous solo recording of Rumi’s poetry set to music, Give Light.
"The clear bead at the center changes everything.
There are no edges to my loving now."
