From the acclaimed composer Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru comes a groundbreaking new album of previously unreleased piano pieces.

Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, an Ethiopian nun whose music has supported orphanages since the '60s, blends influences from Erik Satie, Debussy, Coptic liturgical music, and Ethiopian traditions. Her evocative piano compositions are some of the most moving you'll hear.

This album, released to celebrate her 99th birthday, offers profound new insights into her work, drawn from rare master tapes and a nearly unobtainable vinyl release. It features tracks from her 1972 album Hymn of Jerusalem, including “Home of Beethoven” and the masterful “Jerusalem,” plus the debut of her singing voice in “Quand La Mer Furieuse.” The B-side presents intimate home recordings, bridging liturgical and intense classical material.

A must-have for fans who embrace and reflect on their sadness.
