"Melodies of the Nightingale for the Family", Elika Mahony's second CD is focused on the family, and includes prayers and meditations for parents, children, marriage, youth and expectant mothers. While there are many ways in which to create loving and harmonious families, among the greatest aids in this process are prayer, meditation and the sense of spirituality that springs therefrom. It is our hope that the music on this CD, which was inspired by the sacred scriptures of the Baha'i Faith, will be a means of bringing peace, joy and delight to families and homes everywhere.

This is a follow up to "Melodies of the Nightingale", produced in 1997, Elika's first CD With Fiona Doomun and Michele Brown, entitled on which they sing short, meditational passages from the Baha'i Writings. Elika's CDs have been sold in 25 countries around the world.

It is her hope that the music on this CD, which was inspired by the sacred scriptures of the Baha'i Faith, will be a means of bringing peace, joy and delight to families everywhere.

All pieces composed, arranged and performed by Elika Mahony, except tracks 1 and 15 which were performed and arranged together with Cheng Lin and track 1 which was composed by J. B. Eckl. Guitar parts on tracks 3, 9, 11, 13, and 16 are performed by Paul Meredith.
