Capturing sacred harmonies

"Marty Haugen writes music known by Catholics all over America. "The Song and the Silence" gently caresses the heart of every listener, probing thoughtful inquiry over the mysteries of God. The whole album speaks about oneness with God and learning His character. With lyrics taken straight from Psalms ("Song of the Exile" and "Forget Not What God Has Done"), Haugen offers the listener the familiar, comforting words of the Bible while weaving some of his spunkier musical talents through and through. This album is a wonder, and highly recommended to anyone with a taste for earthy tones and Haugen."
