After her success with
Hymns, Beth Nielsen Chapman expands on the concept with
Prism: The Human Family Songbook. In addition to original songs she's added, Chapman also covers traditional religious and cultural songs from all over the globe. There are Christian hymns, there are songs with Jewish, Sufi, Santeria, Native American, and South African origins, among others. Sung with her beautiful voice, she makes all the songs timeless. All Music says, "Secular and sacred, newly written and ancient, fully orchestrated or delivered with a single voice, the songs all resonate with a deep spirituality that will awaken the timeless voice within us all."
CD released September 17, 2007.
