Complete List of Tracks | Mail Order

On Amasong's first CD "Over Here the Water is Sweet," 50 women's voices sing music from 14 countries in 11 languages. Selections include chant by Hildegard von Bingen, devotional music from the Spanish Renaissance, protest music from South Africa, spirituals from the United States and the Bahamas, dance music from Norway and Russia, and laments from Ireland and Yiddish Lithuania. These 60 minutes include "Vesi Väsyy Lumen Alle" by Harri Wessman, and Lewis Allen's "Strange Fruit," made famous by Billie Holiday and heard here in a stirring arrangement for a capella choir.
