Aurora

0 - Default Title
Description
With its first CD, Aurora, the 45-strong girls choir Cantamus moves away from the traditional repertoire into New Age/classical crossover territory for nine luxuriant pieces by film composer Sarah Class. Class has worked with Zbigniew Requiem for My Friend Preisner and his influence shows in the sometimes detached, often rapturous quality of her choral writing. The album is divided into three sections, the opening featuring the title melody which combines electronics with timeless vocals in a way paralleling Vangelis El Greco. A similar sound, though the remainder of the album discards the electronics, runs through the central Spanish Suite. Playing like the theme from a modern romantic epic film score, this will appeal to fans of James Horners Titanic soundtrack. The finale section includes the 12-minute Symphonie Lumière, an arching melody filled with soaring voices combining influences from church chant and symphonic writing while echoing contemporary acts such as Adiemus and Enya. --Gary S Dalkin
