Music reviews of Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Music Review: Brother Sun Sister Moon
Rating: 4 Stars
Contemplative music for self-Reflection,inner-reflection and peace. A chance to be alone with one's inner self and no others. Not mood music,akin to "bubbling brooks" with classical music intertwined. Gregorian arias with angelic voices to sooth the soul of mankind.
Description of Brother Sun, Sister Moon
A brief glance at the packaging for this recording might make you think New Age, and indeed this label normally offers recordings in that vein. The disc's cover tells nothing about the music inside--all we see are the ruins of an ancient abbey, the moon in the sky on the front, the sun on the back. But wait. If you get far enough to listen to the recording, you'll find one of the most beautiful and beautifully programmed choral recordings in the catalog. The compositions, organized into the categories "Music of the Morning Rite" and "Music of the Evening Rite," are mostly from 16th- century composers--Byrd, Taverner, Sheppard, White--with a few Gregorian chants and a gorgeous rendition of the 20th-century motet by Durufl?, "Ubi caritas." Conductor/choral music legend John Rutter has assembled a program that's both uplifting and restful; the performance is faultless. One could only complain about the short (39 and a half minutes) playing time. --David VernierByrd, William CDs
