Therese SchroederSheker - Rosa Mystica
Review by Keeley St. Clair, MT-BC
Rosa Mystica is an exceptional album by Therese SchroederSheker that showcases her exceptional talent in composing and performing medieval music. The album features a collection of 12 tracks that are inspired by the mystic traditions of the medieval era.
The album's title track, "Rosa Mystica," sets the tone for the entire collection with its hauntingly beautiful melody and SchroederSheker's ethereal vocals. The album also includes other standout tracks like "O Virtus Sapientiae" and "Ave Maris Stella," which feature the artist's mastery of the harp and her ability to create a mesmerizing soundscape.
SchroederSheker's attention to detail is evident in every track, with each one having its unique flavor and style. Her use of different instruments, including the harp, hurdy-gurdy, and psaltery, adds to the diversity of the album, making it an enjoyable and engaging listening experience.

About Therese SchroederSheker
That is how a Banshee sounds.
He was a drummer last summer
with time on his hands,
and all that matter was scattered
like Wastelands.
I never knew what a darkened lie
could do…
but when the clock stopped
with no child in my arms,
I held roses.
On a bright stage for no wage
we were playing for peace
and in the cafes those sweet days
held Love’s lease.
We never know where a rose might bloom or grow…
but when your heart stops to the beat of a drum: You’ll hear roses.
I hope this finds you and binds you
to the part of your soul
that you tasted but wasted on old roles…
that you needed but conceded to old roles…
Still you held it and then melted
like rose-gold…
All of the wounds
from the thorns of dark desire
they dissolve now
and they shine in my eyes,
much like roses.
You’re such a liar,
but your voice on the wire
would be roses,
and when you hear this,
please, don’t fear what you’ve missed.
Just send roses...
