If the soul could sing, here would be its voice. Listen to this hauntingly beautiful music and feel an ancient stirring in your heart–to be released from all earthly limitations, free to embrace infinity itself. I, Omar is inspired by The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the poetic and mystical masterpiece penned nearly a thousand years ago in Persia. The melody is taken up in turn by oboe, flute, harp guitar, strings, and a gypsy-tinged violin. The reflective quality of this instrumental album makes it a perfect companion for quiet reading or other inward activities.
