Gandi: Mantras of Compassion

Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album

The Robert Kerr Ensemble is proud to appear on the latest release from three-time GRAMMY® Award Winning Ricky Kej, “GANDHI: Mantras of Compassion” with Tina Guo, Masa Takumi, and featuring Kailash Satyarthi. The song highlighting the Robert Kerr Ensemble, “Where Are My Rainbows,” features Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary fame.

The album “GANDHI: Mantras of Compassion” is a soul stirring musical tribute to the life and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader who championed non-violent resistance and inspired some of the greatest leaders of our time, including Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela. This powerful New-Age album brings together artists to celebrate Gandhi’s enduring ideals of peace, tolerance, non-violence, and environmental consciousness.

Ricky Kej contacted us after hearing our first song release, Chim Chim Cheree, from Disney’s Mary Poppins. We recorded at the Cosplay Records® studio in Orlando and sent our tracks for inclusion in the project being assembled in India.

Patti Drennan

Requiem of Light

Best Choral Performance

REQUIEM OF LIGHT is a newly composed a cappella Requiem by #1 Billboard charting choral composer Patti Drennan. Brought to life by four-time GRAMMY®nominated conductor Steven Fox and The Clarion Choir, it features GRAMMY® winning soprano Sangeeta Kaur and GRAMMY® nominated tenor Brian Giebler.

At its heart, this work is a traditional Requiem Mass, a prayer for the departed. Yet it also reaches beyond: into the ache of personal loss, the silence after something hoped-for has gone, the questions that surface in grief’s stillness. It is music for anyone who has found themselves asking how they arrived here, and what light might still be ahead.

Unlike traditional Requiem settings that weave voices with orchestra, Requiem of Light is entirely a cappella. Due to this, its music demands immense clarity, control, and emotional presence from each member of the ensemble. Voices alone carry the full weight of this offering.

From the fierce urgency of Dies Irae (“Day of Wrath”) and Libera Me (“Deliver Me, Lord”) to the quiet radiance of Introit (“Grant Eternal Rest Unto Them”) and In Paradisum (“Into Paradise”), the work traverses a path from sorrow to stillness, from rupture to release.

Patti Drennan’s writing blends intricate twelve-part harmonies with double choir textures, creating an expansive sonic space where ancient text meets present longing. Each movement is reflected visually in the hand-drawn stained glass that graces the album’s cover, a traditional rose window. Every ring within the window illuminates a different movement of the Requiem through thoughtfully crafted symbols.

This Requiem begins in darkness. But slowly, through memory, through breath, through understanding, light emerges. And in that light, something begins to change. It comforts. It restores. It leads us gently home.

Cosplay Artist, Michelle Jones, contributed vocals to the song In Paradisum which was recorded at Cosplay Records® Studio.
