Beautiful voice and music.......2007-01-11

Anyone who loves eastern chant and the voice of Sr. Keyrouz will appreciate this CD. This music is modern and is perhaps more accessible than this artists recordings of chant but it evokes the same sounds and influences of early eastern music.

Modern Christian Music in Middle Eastern Style.......2005-12-25

'Cantiques de L'Orient' by composer and vocalist Sceur Marie Keyrouz is a real ear opener. I ran across this artist while browsing the early music bins and assumed this was a recording of 1000 year old music, especially since it was published by harmonia mundi, the house which does so many 'early music' artists and since the cover design was similar to, for example, Anonymous 4 covers.

These seven pieces are actually modern compositions based on the style of some of the very earliest Middle Eastern musical forms. The first cut entitled 'Magnificat' could easily have been the sound track for early scenes of 'The Exorcist' filmed in the middle east. It is especially interesting to see the author say that improvisation played an important role in this music. To my knowledge, this would be my first encounter with improvisation in classical liturgical forms.

If you happen to be looking for something 'really different' in music, this comes about as close to that criteria as I can name.

Highly recommended to the adventursome!

Classical Music Review: New Releases by Tony Gualtieri.......2000-04-23

The works collected on this disk stem from the final years of Walter Winslow's life (1947-1998) and reveal an interest in the classical world as well as the music and poetry of Tahitian and other Pacific cultures. This latter strain is represented by the Six Paripari for soprano (1995). The texts for these pieces come from Tahitian sources, but, except for the exotic place names, they could be translations from the German Romantic poetry that Schubert enjoyed setting. For the most part, Winslow allows the cadences of the Tahitian language to dominate the piece. The accompaniment is spare and percussive, acting as a counterpoint to the vocal melody and subtly underscoring the text's meaning. Mirror of Diana (1991), a work for solo clarinet, refers to a lake in the Alban hills which was a seat of the goddess' priesthood. Quiet, meditative passages alternate with louder, more sharply characterized sections, a reflection of, in Winslow's words, "an isolated place of striking beauty with overtones of mystery and violence."

In 1994 Winslow was diagnosed with cancer, an event that seems to have inspired the remaining two works on this disk. A Voice from Elysium (1995) uses as its text an inscription from an ancient Roman tomb. A woman, Homonoea, who died young advises her husband Atimetus to leave off grieving, "Your tears avail naught nor can the fates be moved." As in the paripari, Winslow is always sensitive to the text. He writes, "Atimetus's is the world of the living, full of turmoil, and it is characterized by musical textures which are densely chromatic and frequently harsh. Interestingly, the world beyond the grave has music which is largely diatonic, and keeps circling about one chord." Yet this division is not strict and Winslow brings out the ambiguity between these two worlds by having the soprano sing both roles.

Winslow's last completed work, Concertati Veneziani (1998), is a masterpiece. The sextet is scored for four violins, viola and cello with the violins usually playing in pairs, giving the work the feel of a string quartet. "I felt a need to honor the musical tradition which has made my life rich beyond measure. Thus the need to sum up, the need to speak in a somewhat broader language.... All this occurs in a musical language that treats tonality (diatonic and chromatic), modality, atonality and dodecaphony as if they were all inhabitants of the same universe." It's enough to say that Winslow succeeds in achieving this goal. The sense of the past pervades the music, but the sextet never falls into the trap of becoming a pastiche. The work ends in a chorale of sublime beauty evocative of Palestrina and late Beethoven.

The disk was recorded over a three-day period but the players betray no unfamilarity with this music. The performances are splendid.
