"Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men....." Bahá'u'lláh
Daily Intonation is only $10.00. It contains 2 a capella pieces: my setting of 95 Alláh'u'abhás, Lullaby for Roya, and The Tablet of Ahmad.
I have chanted Lullaby for Roya at several Baha'i events over the last couple of years and so many people asked for a copy to take home that I felt this would be a good CD "single" to distribute first. This setting truly is an easy way for Bahá'ís to fulfill their daily obligation without counting higher than 5 (one hand). There are five verses with 19 repetitions in each verse. The piece is dedicated to Roya Ishraqí and her mother Izzát, two of the Bahá'í women martyred in Iran in 1983. It is one of a collection of songs I am writing for these brave women.
Here is a sample audio file of the Tablet of Ahmad by Bahá'u'lláh. He urges us not to withhold ourselves from this wonderful tablet which promises that, "Should one who is in affliction or grief read this tablet with absolute sincerity, God will dispel his sadness, solve his difficulties, and remove his afflictions."
