Free Music Notes for Tallis: Lamentations of Jeremiah
Free Music Review: Sure beats Gregory's original bunch
Hit: 5 Stars
Think of this fine music as Gregorian Chants which are about a mile thick and ten times as melodic. This is a recording that you could buy for someone who cared not a whit for classical music and, if they had the slightest jot of cultural taste at all, they'd love it.
I got interested in this CD first from the standpoint of subject matter. The Lamentations of Jeremiah were of scholarly interest to me during a particular period (a secular examination of the text) and I thought that hearing the Lamentations sung might just enhance my understanding of this well-known Bible extraction. I'm so glad that I selected this particular conveyance.
Of course, the work is [primarily] a capello but, trust me, you won't miss the strings and woodwinds one bit. The Tallis Scholars fill all the gaps with often hair raising harmonies and chilling suspended notes. I particularly enjoy the smooth switching from the major to the minor key, achieved again, through shrewd harmonies.
Do yourself a favor and buy this CD. I typically don't care a great deal for early period classical works but here is a huge exception. And if you like to read and hear non-distracting tasteful music as wallpaper, this is the one, folks.
