This month we're celebrating the release of Viriditas from Nashville Fringe Festival alumni Charlie Rauh. Released by Destiny Records, the album was recorded in France and "pays tribute to people and places that continue to inspire a renewing sense of gratefulness."

Charlie was fundamental in the creation of the Nashville Fringe Festival, having started Nashville Fringe Nites nearly a decade ago. Here's a little more about the album and its inspiration...

 

"Viriditas, the debut album from NYC based composer/guitarist Charlie Rauh, takes its name from a word favored by the 12th century mystic Hildegard Von Bingen. Throughout Hildegard’s prolific writing and musical compositions, the term, which translates to greenness, is used to exemplify renewal and divine grace as evident in the world’s natural surroundings...

The album, consisting of eight original solo guitar pieces, was recorded at Le Feuil, a farm in the south of France owned by fellow composer and collaborator Sasha Zamler-Carhat, in a single 45 minute session with renowned engineer Andrea Friggi. The goal was to simplify the approach to a solitary guitar being captured with immediacy, and vulnerability." 


--Michael Hafftka for the Huffington Post


"These quiet tunes dust off a few neglected shelves of the human soul, and from them pull down vials filled with brightness."

--Tyran Grillo for All About Jazz
