*Songs of Life and Love* is a *Time Traveler’s Musical Journey* through
Western Europe and the Americas. The adventure begins with Dowland in
Renaissance England at the Court of King James I and sails into the Baroque
Period of Monteverdi’s Italy.  No European voyage would be complete without
the 20th century pastorale songs of Britten, and the flare of de
Falla’s *Canciones
Populares Españolas*.  Cross the Atlantic into Central and South America
where you’ll hear the haunting and beautiful sounds of Haiti and Brazil
with songs by Haitian composer Frantz Casséus, Brazilian Guitarist/Arranger
Laurindo Almeida and Brazil’s best known and beloved composer Heitor
Villa-Lobos.
