And as a special treat just for our Millennium fans, she's allowing us to email you a free Easter song every day.

Day 14—John Barber is a young composer from Bristol who was tasked to create a setting of the Sicut Lilium text that we began with; what the composer himself calls “daunting, since the Brumel is a miniature gem of a piece. Aside from the simplicity and beauty of the writing, it felt so spiritually confident and hopeful. In my version, I focused on the image of the lily amongst the thorns; to me it suggests that you can’t have faith without doubt, and you can’t have love without the possibility of losing it."

Also remember that Suzi would like to offer you a copy of her new recording as a free gift if you:
