Comment:
Not ever being much of a church goer, I don't have a block against choral music like some of my friends in which such music produces a Pavlovian response of uneasiness and guilt.And what a good thing that is, because it means I can happily listen to some of the most striking music in the world.This is all spiritual music whether motivated by worship of a godhead, awe of numena or pure joy of life. It spans both time and geography.From medieval Christian music performed by Sharakan to the clever 12th century abbess Hildegard of Bingen (as well as being a composer, she was a writer of poetry and treatises on natural history & medicine and in her spare time gave prophecies and indulged visions), to the 15th century Thomas Tallis (famous for his 40 voice Spem in alum, not included here due to duration), to Faure in the 19th century (who wins 'Best Requiem' in my books) and up to today's Zap Mama and their playful genre merging.From Latvia to Tuva, Georgia and Armenia to South Africa and Zaire, Polynesia to Scotland to Amazonia and beyond.Enjoy.
Feedback:
Cool! Anything with a Tuvan connection is fine by me.
nice job!
Wow! This mix really stands out from the others. The Bulgarian Choir (who were on one of my recent mixes) never fail to give me goosebumps.
simply awesome.
Once you give up the idea of a "godhead" the guilt leaves, and rather painlessly too. Strive for gnosis. This may help achieve that...,great mix Muzag!
put this on while packing my daughter's suitcase, and had to stop what I was doing in order to appreciate the sound better. Amazing stuff.
WOW! Amazing! Something else altogether for a refreshing freaking change. Great Faure and Tallis picks (doesn't this sound totally stupid?) And do check out Monteverdi's "Canzonette", Handel's "Italian Cantatas", William Byrd and Antonio Caldara.
Mmmmm. I love choral music.
