The Feast of the Assumption is the primary Celebration of Saint Mary in the Catholic tradition. With some differences in belief, this holy day is also revered as the "Dormition of the Mother of God" in the Orthodox tradition. Much of this special music honors the Divine Mother specifically, while some pieces reflect upon other spiritual themes.
Among the many treasures in this collection: "Seothin Seo” is an exquisite Gaelic lullaby sung by Irish diva Liz Madden; “Alleluia”, "The Cherubic Hymn" and "To Thee We Sing” are beloved pieces from the Orthodox Liturgy; "Chorale", “Serenity”, Ashana’s “Ave Maria”, "Lux Aurumque", "O Magnum Mysterium" and “Novus Magnificat” are contemporary gems; and The “Monastic Choir” selections are Gregorian chants honoring Saint Mary's Assumption into Heaven.
