The Book and the Flower by Mundi Mundi : The Book and the Flower.
 Early music meets global folk at the penguin café.

Listeners will find a sense of celebration in the lively Greek dance rhythms of 'Funeral Games,' a time for reflection in 'Stories from the Tree,' and a sense of ceremony in the medieval processional 'Dum Pater Familias.'

Fresh from their first tour of Spain in 2006, Mundi (based in Austin, Texas) entered the studio with their strings, drums and harmonium to create an album of contrasts.

At the time of the album's release, Mundi was hailed by the Austin American Statesman as '...among the most intoxicating inventions this music-mad city has distilled.'
