Refresh & Gladden My Spirit’ by Angela Bryan

June 6, 2015, in Music > Community, by

This song is based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha. Music composed and sung by Angela Bryan and recorded in her home city of Hobart in Tasmania, Australia, with acoustic instruments. Her husband Adrian produced the song and plays the guitar and other instruments on this piece, and their son Jonathon plays the flute part.

Special thanks to Angela and her family creating the piece and for allowing Baha’i Blog to make this song available to everyone.
