Album Notes

Rita Glassman is the Cantor of one of the most historical synagogues in the Northwest. She is also a singer/songwriter with four CD recordings. Her "Shema" on the "Sacred World Chants" CD-with Deeva Primal and others has become well known in the World/New Age/Spiritual music audience. Her music can be found on the Harmony Ridge Music site. Listening to this soulful, angelic voice, one is easily transported and transformed, soothed and elated. Her voice and music has been compared to that of Ofra Haza, Loreena McKennit and Joni Mitchell. Her Jewish music presented here with an exceptionally talented ensemble while in hebrew and english translates to a universal language of the heart, understood by people of all faiths. Listen to Rita Glassman and the music of "Journey to Shabbat" takes one on a journey to the heart that will want to be repeated again and again. This is the music of the mystics, songs and prayers that transcend time and space. These are contemporary songs for meditation, celebration, inspiration and renewal. An album introducing the joy and peaceful harmony that comes with the Sabbath. A sacred and soulful experience connecting us all to the One who is love and is beyond all.
