With its vistas of snow-capped mountain peaks, Douglas firs, and blue sky, the beauty of Banff National Park has inspired artists from around the world for decades. The Banff Centre, located in the heart of these magnificent surroundings, is a place where art and culture-in all their forms-move the spirit.
In the dark chill of January 2009 and 2010, the members of Spiritus met at the Banff Centre– amidst bright stars, moon-shadows and the quiet solitude of winter–and found warmth, camaraderie and, above all, music. During two winter weekends, Spiritus created this recording, intended to capture a mood of tranquility and inspiration. Encompassing musical and textual themes of love, light, solitude and devotion, we present Of Stars and Solitude.
