Description

SONG BE MY SOUL
Debut album by DEBORAH ROSE

Deborah’s debut album, ‘Song Be My Soul’ was launched in 2013 at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, USA. The title track ‘Song be My Soul’ fuses self-penned words with the Welsh folk song, Calon Lan and is majestic in its arrangement of piano and strings.

The album frames Deborah’s purity of voice with classic folk and a whisper of the mystic energy gained from her celtic roots, reflecting Deborah’s love of myth, legend and the esoteric. The hauntingly dramatic “Lady of Shalott” inspired by Tennyson’s epic poem is placed amongst beautiful compositions celebrating the works of Blake, Dickens, Rossetti and Shakespeare.

Orchestrated by classical composer Martin Riley, the album features the Aber Valley Male Voice Choir, eastern sounds of the bansuri flute and tabla, and an unreleased poem of late songstress Eva Cassidy, taking the listener on a musical journey of Deborah’s passion for art and literature.

Also available on CD Baby
