  • The cloud of unknowing is a setting of texts by St. Teresa of Ávila (in 16th century Castellano/Castilian Spanish), various Psalms (in Latin), and excerpts from an anonymous 14th century guide to contemplation (in English), which provides the title for the work. Songs of the soul was composed as a cantata in the manner of J.S. Bach.
