Album Review
American composer Ingram Marshall combines original elegiac orchestrations and choral works in music for orchestra and tape on this album. The soul of these works, which contain East European influences, is musings upon war-torn Bosnia and churches in that area were used to record key portions. Kronos Quartet records the third piece on this beautiful, sad triptych, "Fog Tropes II," a new version of the one of the composer's better-known works. Midway, the composer uses electronics to transmute American hymns into new works on the ethereal "Hymnodic Delays.
Customer Reviews
What the pros have said
There was an article in the NY Times on Friday April 13, '07 about Ingram Marshall. It mentioned that at a concert by the American Composers Orchestra some years ago of "Kingdom Come", two industry insiders were reduced to tears simply because they found the piece so beautiful. Steve Reich says, "It some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard". Mark Swed, music critic of the LA Times called it in a review of the CD "downright addictive", adding, "Every time I hear it, I immedaitely want to start it over (and usually do)." Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't allow you to sample anything from that track or the last one but until I hear it and give it my own review, I will give it 4 stars :)
