Baptism: A Journey Through Our Time was a 1968 album of poetry spoken and sung by Joan Baez. Peter Schickele (of P. D. Q. Bach fame) did the orchestration, as he did on 1967's Joan.
The album was released during a time when many folk, pop and rock artists were experimenting with mixing their music with classical orchestration (e.g. The Beatles, Judy Collins, The Rolling Stones.)
"When The Shy Star Goes Forth In Heaven" (James Joyce)
"The Angel" (William Blake)
"Old Welsh Song" (Henry Treece)
