Deepening
This 1984 release features Ruth Barrett and
Cyntia Smith's trademark arrangements of traditional British Isles songs and
instruments, and songs of reverence for Nature. Included in this collection are
songs honoring women of our past whose stories are seldom sung -- factory
workers, healers, and lovers parted by war. Also included is Catherine Madsen's
Allu Mari Mi Portati, a song tribute to women who chose freedom through
death during the time of the Inquisition. |

Reviews
"A fascinating exploration of feminist sentiments and
mystic emotional expression. The vocal sound is intense and deep, Ruth and
Cyntia's voices blending and weaving through the mixture of contemporary and
traditional tunes."
~Dulcimer Players News
"Exquisite vocals and instrumentation. Their stories are
imbued so strongly and deeply with life-force that they become part of great
and ageless myth."
~Harvest
