On this beloved New Age classic by composer Robert Gass and his choral group, On Wings of Song, the male/female choral singing (accompanied by organ and acoustic guitar) can be down-to-earth, but then it will erupt into a crescendo of spiritually heightened harmonies that inspire awe and hope. This 10th anniversary edition includes the additional track of "Om," featuring overlapping Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Mongolian chants. Though the two pieces on this expanded version of OM NAMAHA SHIVAYA stand in stark contrast to one another, they both offer a sense of comfort and serenity.
