A collection of songs about wind and water that explore the mystery of the Great Lakes as a metaphor for of our life's journey. Timeless arrangements for cello, voice, piano, and traditional folk instruments serve the listener a musical treat of seafaring tunes. But rather than offering the expected shanties, Fred Alley, Hans Christian, and Ira Stein select a blend of folklore and musical poetry on this album that is heartwarming, enchanting, and contemplative.
