SOUND IN SPIRIT
A groundbreaking mosaic of sacred chant
 |
 Clip: Past
Life Melodies,Sarah Hopkins |
All traditions of spiritual enlightenment have used sound and the voice as a gateway to transcendence. Sound in Spirit, the first Chanticleer CD to be conceived for recording and remixing in a studio environment, is a ground-breaking mosaic of sacred chant, drawing from traditions as diverse as Native American and Japanese, Byzantine and Tibetan, Gallo-Portuguese and native Australian. It is the first to add outdoor ambient sounds, and the first Chanticleer recording to incorporate “overtone singing”, both intentional and accidental, as the result of the singers’ immaculate intonation. Selections include work by an anonymous medieval master, contemporary women composers, Chanticleer favorites such as Tomas Luis de Victoria and Jackson Hill, and even improvisation amid the sounds of nature. For the adventurous listener, for the curious, for explorers of the outer boundaries of the human voice, Sound in Spirit will provide a powerful journey.
