for Ritual & Celebration is the companion album to one of our best-selling songbooks, Circle of Song, edited by Kate. This 1999 recording contains 16 songs, rounds and chants from the book, drawn from Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, African, Native American, Wicca and Celtic traditions as well as contemporary earth-based ritual and circle songs. Kate's friends are numerous here: Anne White, Doug Hewitt -- even the 100-voice Brattleboro Women's Chorus! -- and they provide multi-layered arrangements and beautiful harmonies to percussive and mostly-acoustic accompaniment. Includes Celtic Blessing, I Will Be Gentle With Myself, Sanctify the Earth.
