Free Music Notes for Mysts of Avalon
Free Music Review: Sparkling, mysterious and relaxing!
Hit: 5 Stars
Lighter in tone and with more selections in a major key than some of Llewellyn's previous releases ("Ghosts," "Moonlore," etc.), "Mysts of Avalon" serves as a shimmering, magical and mysterious soundtrack for a story (summarized in the liner notes) about a young woman, Merlyn, and the queen of the moon. The keyboards and other instruments of Llewellyn are enhanced by the ethereal vocals of Juliana, the Celtic flutes of Chris Conway, the Celtic whistles of Lorraine Wyse, and the additional keyboards of Kevin Kendle. Llewellyn is one of those talented, nuanced composers who can create music that lacks a distinctive, memorable melody, but is still highly melodic. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, and perhaps there are more accurate words I could use, but a lot of New Age composers do this, and many of them end up producing trite and boring music. Not the case with Llewellyn, though! While most of his songs are based on fairly repetitive chord progressions with ever-changing descants and improvisations weaving in and out above them, his sense of musical flow, his lush layerings of sound and the emotion conveyed in the performances fill the senses of a listener and satisfy the heart. Despite being a person who's oriented towards melodies, I find that I don't miss them here. And maybe the absence of clear, sustained melodies is one of the things that this music so mysterious--intangible and undefinable, like a mist. For more music in his signature style, you'll also enjoy any of Llewellyn's other releases. For other musical interpretations of Arthurian legend, try "The Merlin Mystery" by Alkaemy and "Avalon: A Celtic Legend" by Enaid (aka Diane Arkenstone). And you might also warm to "Celtic Legend" by Bruce Huron, "A Trilogy of Fantasy" by Trammell Starks, "m'Anchelli" by Enam, and the work of David Arkenstone and John Adorney.
