Thirteen years ago, my closest friend and creative partner Charles Anthony Silvestri (Tony) lost his wife, Julie, to ovarian cancer. The Sacred Veil tells their story, from their first moments of love, to the birth of their children, to Julie's diagnosis, to their struggle with her illness, and finally, to the moment of her death. Tony and I worked on the piece for nearly three years, and it is far and away the most personal thing we've ever written. I am honored to share with you the recording

Poetry as always by poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. Wh
