Poems & Prayers;

In the context of a world focused on the chaos and strife in the Middle East, Arab-American composer Mohammed Fairouz presents two new masterworks that combine the musical and textual backgrounds of the region, exalting the commonalities, and sharing a vision of unity and hope for peace. Combining massive musical forces with star powered soloists, this release - the second by Sono Luminus of works by this young composer called "an important new artistic voice" by the New York Times - delivers a musically, sonically, and spiritually engaging album that transcends culture or creed.
