Her last piece, The Wild Rose, which she crafted from the works of Wendell Berry and Pablo Neruda and sings to the accompaniment of piano, puts a final, lovely touch on this tour de force album, a piece part Irish dirge in somberness, pace and melody, part church hymn in power and grace, yet again with the theme of the rejuvenating majesty of Nature rising into consciousness:
Light wraps you as you stand
Oh sacred stem in mortal flame
Great roots of night they grow
The things that hide come out again
Come to me my wild, wild rose
Ablaze in all your glory
Choosing what before I chose
The blessings of God's bounty
Go out and buy this album. It's one of the best I've heard in a long time, and better still, it grows on you with each listening. Find it at: http://carolineherring.com/ It is produced by David Goodrich and Signature Sounds.
