"Time to fall in love with the roses on the rose bush, to count the steps to spring. Life, a horse stepping. Time to fall in love with a glance or a shoulder of her, walking. Love, a hose striding. Men dead, land lost, silt turned to stone; their life was swallowed up. Death, a horse walking."

about
From Northern Harmony's winter tour of 2013, which included a month in the UK, two weeks up and down the US east coast and two weeks in Colombia.
Northern Harmony's goal is to present vibrant and informed performances of ethnic polyphonic singing traditions from the US and beyond, paying close attention to vocal timbres, inflections and characteristic ornamentation. This dynamic album features traditional and contemporary American shape-note music, Jubilee gospel quartet songs from the early 20th century, and traditional polyphonies from South Africa, Georgia, Bulgaria and Corsica.
Singer Avery Book taught and directed all of the Georgian songs on the program. Luke Hoffman arranged and directed the gospel quartet songs. Elitsa Stoineva, a wonderful Bulgarian singer living in Maine, taught us the three Bulgarian songs. Patty Cuyler originally coached the Corsican songs. The recordings were made on location in various churches during the US portion of the tour.
