REMEMBRANCE (VOCAL)
|
The yearning voice of Yusuf reminds one of the spiritual paths of devotion that Man has followed since the days of Adam in the quest to elevate one’s soul and re-unite with the Divine Spirit of Creation. Desert Rose creates beauty through her classical sounds, taking the listener to a realm of soulful enlightenment with the ancient traditions and cries of Sufism where one can experience the journey of blissful remembrance…the memory of one’s divine soul through powerful opening of the heart.
The track starts with one of the 99 names of God, Ar-Rahman, meaning The Beneficent or The All Merciful, evoking gratitude and admiration for the Divine Spirit and the essence of creation and life. In true classical tradition the musical elements of piano, strings and voice constantly intertwine to take the listener from sadness to enlightenment and ultimately into a realm of blissful freedom from worldly entrapments |

PEACE
|
The calming whispers of Lynne and Yusuf add to the classical interpretation of peace through the gentle sounds of piano and wind instruments. One is transported into a state of extreme relaxation. The transcendental sound of nature and flowing water in harmony with instrumentation and soft vocal chanting allows for the ultimate surrender to one’s innermost being, appeasing the eternal yearning for peace and harmony.

FORGIVENESS
|
The listener is introduced to a Sufi crying for the blessings and forgiveness of the Divine Spirit. The music frees the soul from the eternal battle between the ego and the Higher Self, humbling oneself through the Arabic word Al-Ghafur, meaning “The Forgiver”. The listener who visualizes the concept of forgiveness entering his heart and mind is ultimately left with a sense of freedom and appreciation for the gift of life.

LOVE

The simplicity of the orchestration by Desert Rose combines in perfect harmony, reflecting the natural order and harmony of the Universe. The combination of orchestrated sounds and the soulful voice of Yusuf chanting the name “Al-Wadud”, meaning the Most Loving, bring feelings of generosity and magnanimity, allowing the listener to reach a state of Nirvana and joyful reunion with his Higher Self.

THE PRAYER
|
Evolving from distant stirrings of sound, the music develops in to a poignant yet majestic melody symbolizing the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Good will ultimately prevail and the invincible Spirit will soar above all that is temporary. One’s emancipation is the gift of God to those who free themselves from ego and whose hearts are filled with humility, gratitude and forgiveness. The music aims to inspire those attributes of divine inspiration and the words “Hasbun-Allah”, meaning “May God suffice us”, or “God is enough””, with their innate divine intention and power take us further along the path of true emancipation…
