Rosa Mystica
Therese Schroeder-Sheker casts an almost mystical spell with the power of insight and understatement as she brings rich tapestries of medieval music to life. As one fascinated listener confessed, "The strongest impression I had was one of whispers that almost seemed to shout into my consciousness." Rosa Mystica showcases Schroeder-Sheker's uniquely expressive gift for subtlety, as well as her acuity, lyricism, and potent musical virtuosity. The poignant purity of her soprano voice, and the warmth of her harp accompaniments imbue the ancient Irish, Rumanian, Israeli, and Sephardic melodies with a beauty and clarity that transcends time. At the hands of this accomplished artist, these songs of love, passion, devotion, spiritual awakening, and the pain of rejection become as relevant to modern listeners as they were hundreds of years ago. Similarly, her original composition, For the Roses, draws inspiration from the past to shed light on how 20th century women mourn the loss of love and begin to heal in time.
