lyrics: Unde quocumque veninetes perrexerunt, Velut cum gaudio celestis paradisi suscepte sunt, Quia in religione morum, Honorifice apparuerunt. Wherever they go in their wanderings, they are greeted with joy, as in Heaven, for their faith and honour are apparent. credits

about

I am gradually compiling an album of my compositions for shakuhachi that involve singing while playing. I call this oeuvre vox/shakuhachi.
More coming. Just getting started on sorting out my tracks and scores.

With encouragement, I will be putting links to scores as well, and inviting other performers of shakuhachi and flute who play my music to put their recordings here too.

• Oodnadatta Who on flute performed by Eliza Shephard
