2 mixes for this book

These instrumental selections move between chamber-music intimacy, the gravity of historical memory, and spacious, restrained soundscapes for Una and Owen’s crossing of time. The three vocal songs turn toward the book’s questions of legend, sacrifice, and love that persists across distance and years.
