Words Take Wing in Song - Deborah Langstaff and Friends
"These songs are like nourishment for the soul." - Concert Review, Basel, Switzerland.
The wonderful musicians who came together to record Take Wing in Song, Deborah Langstaff's first CD of spiritual texts set to music, will be making a rare appearance at Third Life Studio to celebrate the CD and the joy of making this music together!
This is a concert of original song settings of moving poems which Deborah has collected over the years from different parts of the world and different cultures, from the Indian mystic poet Rabindranath Tagore to the Psalms, and including poems from Hilde Domin, Mary Austin, Roethke and Hannah Senesh.
Surrounded by music all her life, Deborah's compositions are influenced by folk, celtic and early music. After 10 years living in Europe, Deborah has recently moved back to the U.S. with her family, and is now living in Providence RI.
"Deborah Langstaff's songs and arrangements support the texts, allowing them to unfold their beauty witout ever covering them up. I have rarely encountered texts with such tender intensity."
"These songs are characterized by an intimate simplicity, bringing us with them on an inner journey...They have taken me into a dimension of depth that I miss in so many other places."
