songs of compassion - album

songs of compassion (2004)

Evocative recitations of the mantras of Padmasambhava and Avalokiteshvara

Sonia Loinsworth performs her own compositions over two of the Tibetan mantras in this heart spelling album. The beautfiful combination of contemplative compositions with Loinsworth's clear, yet very powerful vocals, gives this album a rich variety and intensity.

Sonia writes music in the style of drone, vocal lines and harmonics, and the 6 tracks on this album vary from one single vocal line to multilayered vocal tracks with harmonics. Loinsworth's compositions and vocal register spans from the clarity of Gregorian Chant to the mystique of Arabic vocal ornamentation and classical northern Indian vocals. The overall deep musical resonance and the healing power of the Tibetan mantras makes this music an extraordinary support to the meditation practice.
