NEW!!  Abba is excited to launch our new category of music with this soothing music CD by popular composer and conductor Michael Moricz, which includes gentle melodies of Jewish and Arabic musical traditions from the Middle East. At the heart of Middle Eastern music is a rich, expressive spirit, which seems to carry with it a living, breathing connection to the entire history of the region. The Bible describes instruments which still have counterparts or descendants in the present day. In this selection, composed specifically for Nazareth Village, we sense a soulful poetry connected to the cultures and peoples who have kept this music alive for millennia. Moricz skillfully suggests the mood and melodies of those distant times in which Yeshua (Jesus) lived--a fireside gathering of friends, the simple melodies of a shepherd's flute, and the gentle swaying of silvery olive leaves.

Songs include:
