Dedication:16 Curated by Bruce Phillips

Music is important; a simple statement but it must continue to be said. At the crux of it, music is emotion conveyed in vibrational form; a manner of communication inherently human and reflective of the physical and spiritual world we live in, hence the term, “universal language”. Many masters of music have come before us, many are among us, and many more are ahead of us; this collection of songs represents a spirit of hope and inner-strength from which we can draw, as we strive to understand the human condition, and the interconnectedness of all things, in order to achieve a more harmonious world.
