Free Music Notes for Ghost Opera Album
Free Music Review: One of the most inventive works for String Quartet yet!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I stumbled onto this cd by accident and I'm glad I did. I've heard all sorts of new art music but never anything like this. Tan Dun has done an amazing job with writing this work. He requires the quartet to engage in all sorts of expanded techniques from the bowed gong to vocals and chants. For these techniques the Kronos Quartet must be equally commended for pulling such a difficult work off so well.The work itself represents a trinity of NOW, PAST, and FOREVER. Dun opens the work by fusing the NOW (represented by the String Quartet and the Pipa played by Wu Man) with the Past (represented by quotes from a Bach prelude, folk songs, monk chants, and a Shakespeare soliloquy. As the work progresses the NOW joins with FOREVER (represented by water, stones, metal, and paper) to create some very exciting and enticing episodes of sound.
Overall, the Ghost Opera is definitely a work worth hearing. It's not your Tosca but that is okay because Tosca has been done. Dun has succeeded in creating something new that still is fairly accessible to the general public. I must warn you however that this is not background music. It is a work that you must LISTEN to. Those who take the time to understand this work will be emotionally and intellectually moved. Isn't that what music is about?
