 This recording came to fruition thanks to nearly 25 years of effort.
 In 1997, Marcel Pérès and his Ensemble Organum began a simultaneous exploration of the Mozarabic rite (the liturgical chant peculiar to the Christians living in Spain at the time of Arabrule) and of the Samaa spiritual practice of Morocco.
 Setting aside the theological differences between the two faiths, the artists discovered a great deal of kinship between the two forms of musical expression.
 A veritable utopia, the idea for this recording then suggested itself: to regain the lost accord of human brotherhood through music.
