| Un témoignage puissant de force spirituelle,malangeant la
beauté éthérée des chants monastiques sacrés du Moyen Age chrétien avec
lénergie pulsante dun rythme proche de la musique amérindienne. En
introduction, lenvol extatique dune flûte solo, à laquelle se mêle ensuite
une riche variété dinstruments, telle la flûte de Pan et la guitare acoustique,
créent une composition vibrante de vie, animée dune véritable force intérieure. |
| Terry Oldfields ICON is a powerful testimony of
spiritual strength, blending the ethereal beauty of sacred monastic chants reminiscent of
the Christian Middle Ages with the energy of a near Native American pulsating rhythm. The
soaring flight of a solo flute provides a trance-like introduction, and a rich variety of
instruments, including pan-pipes and acoustic guitar, add to the diversity of texture, as
the waves of energising rhythm ebb and flow. The plaintive echoes of a tolling bell
occasionally signal a change in tempo, but always a surging sense of animated purpose
drives the inner life of this vibrant and vitalising musical affirmation. |
