This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales. Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated as in an intricate conversation with one another. Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words. Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics), Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics), Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics). Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.

I do not cease swimming in the seas of love, rising with the wave, descending from above; now the wave sustains me, and then I sink below; love bears me away to where there is no shore. Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus [Gel gel ey gönül ‘aşk] Come, come, oh heart, the sea of love [denizi taşdı gönülde] Has overflowed within the heart. [Dürr ü cevâhir oldı] It has become filled with pearls and gems, [bakun mevci bu dilde] Look, there is a place for them in this
tongue. [Gel gel ey gönül başını] Come, come, oh heart, place your head [koy meydân içinde] In the midst of the field. [Dür-dâne getir daldın] Bring seeds and sow them [ise ‘ummân içinde] If you have immersed yourself in the world of possibilities. Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus [O ignis Spiritus paracliti] O fire of the Spirit and Defender, [vita vite omnis creature] the life of every life created:
[sanctus es vivificando formas] Holy are you—giving life to every form. Spiritus Sanctus رق معنى الهوى Passion had a subtle meaning في النفوس و الأشباح In souls and in shadows و ظهر و احتوى And it appeared and was contained في الصدور و الأرواح In hearts and spirits يا خِليَّ الجوى O air of burning desire لو ذُقتٓ من الراح If you had a taste of wine يا له من مُدام Oh from him constantly من سٓكٓر به غنَّى He who has become drunk has gained in richness Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sa
nctus Spiritus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus [O iter fortissimum, quod penetravit] O mighty course that runs within and through [omnia in altissimis et in terrenis] everything—in the heavens and in the earth, [et in omnibus abyssis,] and in the every depth— [tu omnes componis et colligis.] you bind and gather all together. [O iter fortissimum, quod penetravit] O mighty course that runs within and through [omnia in altissimis et in terrenis] everything—in the heavens
and in the earth, [et in omnibus abyssis,] and in the every depth— [tu omnes componis et colligis.] you bind and gather all together. [O iter fortissimum, quod penetravit] O mighty course that runs within and through [omnia in altissimis et in terrenis] everything—in the heavens and in the earth, [et in omnibus abyssis,] and in the every depth— [tu omnes componis et colligis.] you bind and gather all together. [O iter fortissimum, quod penetravit] O mighty course that runs within and through [o
mnia in altissimis et in terrenis] everything—in the heavens and in the earth, [et in omnibus abyssis,] and in the every depth— [tu omnes componis et colligis.] you bind and gather all together. يا كثير الملام O you who blame لا تلُمنا Do not blame us لا تلُمنا دعنا Do not blame us نحن أهل الغرام We are the people of love نحن أهل الغرام We are the people of love كل معنا معنى Each of us has a purpose كل معنا معنى Each of us has a purpose نحن أهل الغرام We are the people of love كل معنا معنى Each
of us has a purpose نحن قوم We are a people of نحن قوم We are a people of نحن قوم لنا في المعاني أسرار We are a people of signs and symbols نحن قوم في المعاني أسرار We are a people of signs and symbols Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Spiritus Sanctus Spiritus Sanctus [O ignis Spiritus paracliti] O fire of the Spirit and Defender, [vita vite omnis creature] the life of every life created: [O ignis Spiritus paracliti] O fire of the Spirit and Defender, [vita vite omnis creature] the life of every life
