Rainbow Artists Guild, BMI, is the publishing and production company for the music of Barbara A. Taft and Abraham Davidson. Both songwriters and performers, the couple records and performs in the three distinct musical personalities listed below:

Barbara and Abraham

The songs are mellow and melodious, written around the themes of personal and planetary peace as well as spiritual unfoldment. While Barbara and Abraham strive to express a spirituality that transcends any one sectarian faith, the songs have often been presented in progressive churches and synagogues.

Princess and the Cowboy

When Barbara and Abraham jump into a phone booth and don their Western garb, they are magically transformed into Princess and the Cowboy, and ride out to prove that they can get down and hoe down with the best of the Texas troubadours. Despite the pure Texas twang, many of the songs have a mystical edge. Enlightened fun!

Shirat Ha-Lev

The words mean Heartsong in Hebrew, and it is the name Barbara and Abraham have chosen to distinguish their Jewish persona. The songs are soulful and heartfelt, most of them original melodies, many performed in both English and Hebrew, many employing the minor keys used in traditional Jewish music. But Shirat Ha Lev’s repertory also includes joyful new songs, entirely in English, in major keys, written around Jewish themes.

Although no Yiddish songs appear on their album, Ha’l’luyah, Barbara is noted for her provocative interpretation of Yiddish songs in concert.
