Free Music Notes for Richard Einhorn: Voices Of Light
Free Music Review: Truly Moving Music
Hit: 4 Stars
American composer Richard Einhorn (b. 1952) was inspired by a film about Joan of Arc to write an oratorio featuring texts by various sources, primarily medieval female mystics. The music is for voice, amplified gambas, choir, and orchestra. Although this might sound like something of a sprawling mess, the net result is music that strikes the listener as focused and purposeful, with a rich blend of sonorities well captured by the recording engineers. Voices of Light is a truly moving piece of music that should appeal to a wide variety of listeners, and I urge those who enjoy more traditional choral music and oratorios to give Einhorn's creation a serious audition. I could not help but chuckle when I saw that medieval-music supergroup Anonymous 4 got top billing on the cover of this CD, but I guess that just reflects marketing realities.
Richard Einhorn: Voices Of Light Poster
Voices of Light, inspired by the classic French silent film "The Passion of Joan of Arc," works as a cinematic accompaniment, but it's not movie music. Influenced by minimalism and the likes of Gorecki and Part, Einhorn's music is tonal and accessible. The texts--in Latin and antique French--are from the Bible, and from writings by (mostly) medieval women, including Joan of Arc herself. Joan is represented by the reliably intelligent and well-tuned Anonymous 4 (Ruth Cunningham, Marsha Genensky, Susan Hellauer and Johanna Rose); soprano Susan Narucki sings her often high-flying lines with beauty and clarity. --Sarah Bryan MillerClassical Music CDs
