DESCRIPTION:
Om Tare Tutare Ture Mama Ayur Punje Jnana Pushtim Kuru Soha!
The main Tārā mantra is the same for Buddhists and Hindus alike: oṃ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā. It is pronounced by Tibetans and Buddhists who follow the Tibetan traditions as oṃ tāre tu tāre ture soha.

Inspired by the Buddha White Tara, this beautiful CD weaves together new devotional chants and music with traditional Tibetan mantras and prayers. At root, this offering is a journey throught the wisdom, love and compassion of the Mother Tara and her grace in holding us. A listening practice - simple, joyful and profound.
Sarah Patterson - vocals compositions, Eileen O'Sullivan, Tibetan and Irish prayers, Volker Kaczinski on flute and tambura, Daniel Bruck tabla, Gabriella Strumpel cello.

Drawing inspiration from a series of meditations, chanting sessions, and improvisation, Sarah and her fellow musicians gave some of the Tibetan mantras and prayers on the album new melodies and added harmony and counterpoint in places. The result is something very much alive.

Sarah's pure, clear, magical voice is front and center, sometimes by itself, sometimes with some particularly fine cello and viola work, some "light and masterly" tabla, a bit of flute and tambura—there's even an Irish prayer from fellow vocalist Eileen O'Sullivan. This approach may find some resistance among traditionalists, but for those open to cultural and musical fusion, White Tara is a real gem. The love of Tara radiates wherever this music is playing.
