"There
is an epic quality to the writing which I tried to maintain in my
performance that for me alludes to higher realms of eternity and
immortality. The story of the Human Circle is full of high drama,
framed with eternal hope and love of humanity. Words inevitably
fail at these times, but the music speaks for itself." Dave
Liebman
