Music reviews of Sacred Bridges

Music Review: The Arts Lend a Light to Global Understanding
Rating: 5 Stars

SACRED BRIDGES is not just a recording of great beauty and intensely interesting music, it is also a solid though quiet stance about global understanding, especially in the realm of basic spiritual flow and similarities among the currently (and historically) disjunctive elements of Christianity, Judaism, and Islamism.

The King's Singers couple with Sarband (an instrumental group playing the reed flute, a three-stringed violin, a zither, and a small drum)) present a seamless series of psalms, prayers, incantations and other religious utterances and music from all three religions. The result is uncannily beautiful and enormously moving. From 16th and 17th psalms of Sweelinck, Rossi and Goudimal to Jewish works by composer Hebreo to Islamic ones by composer Ufki, the chants and instrumental episodes form this running song of mood and heightened awareness and are unique and wholly lovely. One cannot step away from this recording without connecting to the thread that joins all religions - if religions are broken down into their essential elements of spirituality, sincerity, and longing for peace and brotherhood.

The performers are, as expected, outstanding and the variety of music will find some new voices for different people depending on their spiritual and musical background. And that is as it should be - a sacred bridge of discovery that we all are beings with shared needs. This recording should be placed in the libraries of not only music enthusiasts, but also in homes where people seek to understand the nebulous differences among these three great belief systems. Highly recommended on every level. Grady Harp, October 05
