Genre: Jazz, Gospel | Label: Blue Engine Records

The Abyssinian Mass a landmark collaboration of jazz, gospel, instrumentation and vocals marks Marsalis’s first original recorded composition in six years. In 2008, nine-time GRAMMY® award winner Marsalis was commissioned to write a piece commemorating the 200th anniversary of Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church. The result was a sacred celebration: a sweeping composition for big band and 70-piece gospel choir conducted by Damien Sneed. The work’s popularity sustained a 16-city, 19-concert tour that brought the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, award-winning recording artist Damien Sneed and his choir Chorale Le Chateau across the American south and into deep dialogue with the black tradition. “Many of the greatest jazz musicians today come out of the church. The church is one of the last places that retain the actual feeling of the blues in sound and also the call-and-response rituals that are central to our music,” said Wynton Marsalis. “The principal fact of The Abyssinian Mass the feeling that we want you to come away with is uplift through the way that we all come together."

Phoenix Chorale & Kansas City Chorale, Charles Bruffy - Serge Rachmaninoff: All-Night Vigil (2015) Music

Posted by Designol at July 3, 2024

Sergey Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil, also known as the Vespers, is among his most admired works, and it was one of the composer's own favorites, along with The Bells. This 2015 Chandos release by Charles Bruffy and the combined voices of the Phoenix Chorale and the Kansas City Chorale presents the music in the super audio format, so the richness of the divisi choral parts and the depth of the basso profundo come across fully in the multichannel reproduction. Bruffy is the musical director of both groups, so his special rapport with them creates an even ensemble blend that balances the largely homophonic textures, and brings a consistency of approach to the three styles of chant Rachmaninov imitated, Kievan, Greek, and Znamenny. The beauty of the a cappella voices and the surprisingly lush harmonies make this setting immediately appealing and ultimately moving, and listeners who enjoy sacred choral music for inspiration or meditation will find the All-Night Vigil's smooth flow and expressive warmth well-suited to those purposes.

The music of Bach's 'St. John Passion', which the composer wrote for Holy Week in 1724 immediately after his appointment as cantor of St Thomas's Church in Leipzig, still retains all its freshness and vitality nearly 300 years later, and is a true Baroque delight. The two main choruses Herr, unser Herrscher and Ruht wohl, ihr heiligen Gebeine form the beginning and culmination of a large-scale orchestral and vocal structure in which Bach reveals his absolute mastery of polyphony. Inwardly reflective chorales are as much interwoven into the events of the Passion as the haunting arias which comment on the biblical texts of the Gospel of St John. Throughout this solemn Passion oratorio, there is a constant emphasis on Baroque musical magnificence. What makes this live recording of the concert version of March 7, 2015 in the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz so special? The fresh voices of the young and excellent vocal soloists, the regularly praised "astonishing three-dimensionality" and "crystalline clarity" of the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks under the direction of Peter Dijkstra and, of course, the renowned period instrument ensemble Concerto Köln.

Ganga Procession - Ganga Procession (2016) Music

Posted by Pisulik at Jan. 5, 2017

It is the meeting of three musicians of the Armorican tip sharing their compositions and their ways of apprehending the sound, with those of three musicians coming from the classical Indian tradition. The ties naturally weave between our modal musics, and thus springs a common language, which mocks well the clichés and slogans of the time, whether they are identity or universalist. Initiated by Ronan Pellen, this encounter reflects his trajectory as a traveling musician, from the Celtic Procession of Jacques Pellen to the Indian Raga tradition transmitted by his sarangi master Pandit Santosh Mishra. The pieces gathered here are mainly from the repertoire of Sukhdev, Jacques and Ronan, with a loan from Joni Mitchell. Ganga is the Ganges which borders the city of Varanasi, the sacred Indian city from which this music is inspired, the city where Sukhdev Mishra lives and to which he dedicates the title Homage to Kashi.
