Free Music Review: Mists of Avalon
Hit: 5 Stars
I have always felt a deep connection to the British Isles and Celtic lore. I never really got into the tales of Arthur but, I had always been interested in Avalon. I finally read Marion Zimmer Bradley's book Mists of Avalon and absolutely adored it. I now have an unabridged electronic copy of the book and an unabridged audio copy of it. I was estatic when TNT made a mini-series out of the book. I was disappointed, as I'm sure other readers of the book were, that there were several parts that should have been included and others that should have been covered a bit more but, all-in-all, I loved the movie and didn't dwell on some of the inaccuracies between what the movie portrayed and what the book said. I cannot say enough good things about the soundtrack of this series. The music that ran through the series was gorgeous. I love each and every track. Whoever did the selecting of the various artists, scoring the music and anything else to do with the soundtrack was highly skilled in bringing the best of everything together in the soundtrack. I often use this soundtrack for meditation as it just carries me back to my beloved Britain. Any one that likes this type of literature and Celtic music, can't go wrong in buying this soundtrack.
Mists of Avalon : Original Television Soundtrack Poster
Director Ulrich Edel's miniseries adaptation of Marion Zimmer Bradley's bestseller turns the Camelot fable inside out, examining the drama and moral lessons from the perspective of its female characters. Composer Lee Holdridge was thus presented with the challenge of not only reinventing the genre's hoary clichés yet again, but imbuing them with the perspective of the powerful women behind the throne as well. By turns airy and ominous, Loreena McKennitt's ambitiously pagan mini-epic "The Mystic's Dream" essentially shows the way, neatly segueing into Holdridge's initially quiet strains in a way that's increasingly rare among such hybrid efforts. The veteran composer takes that magical introduction and deftly gives it flesh and blood, the bucolic harps, strings, and woodwinds punctuated by brass, percussion, and foreboding choral flourishes. It's a score of impressive range and mature character, from the largely pastoral "Morgaine's Journey" through passages of mystery and medieval folk tonalities to the thundering percussive passages of "The Cave Ceremony" and the inherent drama of "Mordred Confronts Arthur/The Battle Ends." "I Will Remember You Still," Holdridge's ethereal collaboration with Aeone, brings the album full circle and serves as a worthy bookend to McKennitt's memorable prelude. --Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
