instrumental music. The role of this recording is twofold. It offers
a taste of the music from Celestial Harmonies releases, by some of
its most celebrated artists. The recording also embodies a grander
vision and broader purpose which takes it well beyond its value as
an excellent sampler; Earth's Answer was created to rejoice
in the spirit of the Earth and the unity of its inhabitants. Indeed,
the various selections reflect influences from cultures around the
world such as Chinese, Turkish, Tibetan, Indian, and Native American.
Specifically, these include works from Paul Horn's China (11080),
Brian Keane's soundtrack, Süleyman the Magnificent (13023),
Henry Wolff's Tibetan Bells II (13005),
Deuter's Land of Enchantment (11081),
and Carlos Nakai's Sundance Season (13024).
This release provides the opportunity to revel in the wisdom and spirit
of the music of the world.

and the willingness to express innovative musical ideas are common
attributes of the artists on Earth's Answer. Some of the most
renowned musicians in the contemporary instrumental music field are
represented here. Included are legendary flutist Paul Horn, multi-instrumentalist
Deuter, and keyboardist, composer, and scholar, Peter Michael Hamel.
Other artists include Hans Otte, James Newton, Double Image, and the
phenomenal David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir.
All of these artists reveal a profound richness of emotion in their music. Their compositions and performances are born of personal convictions about the purpose and power of music, and of an intense commitment to their instrument and to their art. Earth's Answer, a collection of works from today's most profound artists, could be the response to the question, Where does the soul of the world exist? tracklist
