Free Music Review: "Alma Mater: Music From The Vatican"
Hit: 5 Stars
"Alma Mater: Music From The Vatican" is a great religious music release, especially for young people. It is an amazingly beautiful music project. Released in November 2009, it is already considered one of the greatest music recordings in the vocal/choral music category. "Alma Mater" is co-produced by the Pauline Fathers' media company, Multimedia San Paolo and Universal Music Group. The album consists of eight songs, with each song being divided into three parts. The Philharmonic Academy of Rome Choir, which is one of the choirs of Saint Peter's Basilica, sings Marian litanies with the London Royal Philharmonic playing a contemporary classical music piece, specially composed for "Alma Mater". Pope Benedict XVI will then speak about Mary, or pray and sing a Marian chant. The Philharmonic Academy of Rome Choir and the London Philharmonic Orchestra then come back into the song, and wrap it up. The music has been composed by Simon Boswell, Stefano Mainetti, and Nour Eddine Fatty. These are all young composers. The music is breathtakingly gorgeous, and easy to listen to. Quite simply "Alma Mater" is a music recording masterpiece. Throughout the album are threaded melodies and instruments of Eastern music. The album is a perfect blend of music from both the East and West. This makes "Alma Mater" as much a "World Music" CD, as it is a "Classical Music" CD. The songs include "Regina Coeli" (Queen of Heaven), which features an outstanding soprano solo by Yasemin Sannino, "Magistra Nostra" (Our Teacher), "Sancta Dei Genitrix" (Holy Mother of God), and "Mater Ecclesiae" (Mother of the Church). "Alma Mater" runs under 60 minutes, and is calm, peaceful, and soothing. When you listen to both the London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Philharmonic Academy of Rome Choir, you understand why one is considered the best orchestra in the world, and the other the best church choir in the world. Pope Benedict sounds wonderful. Hopefully he will make a few more of these music recordings in the future. "Alma Mater" is an "out of the box" major music release, in that it's pupose is to celebrate the respect and reverence shown to the Virgin Mary for two thousand years. It's an invitation to young people to challenge themselves, and go beyond their usual musical horizons of Pop Music and Pop Culture. Everyone who hears "Alma Mater" will enjoy it, be build up in their faith, and learn much from it.- (...)
