“In 1985, Colin Tanser encountered Marja Slotemaker’s settings of words by Anke Weihs relating to the Eight-fold Path. This inspired him to write his own music using the same words, with piano accompaniment. Then in 1994 he composed a second set with lyre accompaniment. This volume contains both sets. It also has an incomplete set of reflections on the Planetary Scales and their relationship with the days of the week and the eight-fold path. These reflections include songs from ‘The Eight-fold Path.’” (from the preface to “The Eight-fold Path, Days and Planets”)
