I am delighted with the release of Healing Song. I have been writing the songs over the past number of years and I was so happy to return to Prague to record with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. We had already recorded the TIME album with this Orchestra in 2005 so it was great to meet old friends again. What makes this new album special for me also is that all the Orchestral Arrangements were done by musical director Mark Cahill. We also worked with Paul Tate from the USA who did the Choral arrangements.
The Choir who recorded with us are resident at the Cathedral in Cobh, Co. Cork in the south of Ireland. They are a great bunch of singers and full of fun. They sing each week at the Cathedral and add so much to the sacred liturgy under the direction of Dominic Finn.
Because Healing Song is a collection of Sacred Music in the coming the coming months we will be hosting a series of Workshops for Choirs throughout the country. The Workshops are an invitation to Choirs to come together to learn the new songs which have also been arranged for Choral singing. I personally look forward to workshops as they are always a great source for social interaction and re connection with old and new friends.
There will also be Concert performances in the coming months and we will be including new repertoire from Healing Song. I want to say thank you especially to Donal Norton who has designed the new website and I hope you all find it user friendly and easy to navigate.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon
