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 .)
