Arabic HILAL (The Crescent Moon) is a political, military, and religious emblem of the Byzantine and Turkish empires and, later and more generally, of all Islamic countries. The Moon in its first quarter was a religious symbol from the earliest times and figured, for example, in the worship of the Near Eastern goddess Astarte. In medieval European heraldry the crescent was originally a mark of great honor adopted by many returned crusaders, particularly in France. This CD is a journey to the soul of the past!
