Free Music Notes for The Roar of Love: A Musical Journey Into the Wonder of C.S. Lewis' Narnia
Free Music Review: Just one of the coolest albums ever made, that's all
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a little sad when I turn on Christian radio stations and hear boring, boring music, most of the time with lyrics that are little more than syrupy drivel. There ARE some fantastic and musically innovative groups making overtly gospel-oriented music these days, but they aren't that popular - and I don't know if any of them approach the talent and impact of The 2nd Chapter of Acts.
Yes, this is dated sounding. Crazy synthesizers/organs, bouncing bass lines, the whole nine yards. But it is darn good.
For starters, the two-sister-one-brother group has the tightest harmonies, widest range, and most flexible voices of any non-classical group that I'm aware of. If you think Dixie Chicks, Avalon, Point of Grace, or any of the newer groups when you think harmony, you're in for a surprise, because none of them can do what 2CoA can do. There are jaw-dropping melodic acrobatics in here.
Secondly, the subject matter is just good to start with. Lewis' story can stand the culture-wrenching transformation from mid-century England to 70's America - not that the album changes the story, but it certainly sets it in a sound that wouldn't come to mind while reading the books. Anne Herring didn't draw on just The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in writing these lyrics - several lines allude to things you only read about further in the Narnia series.
My only complaint about this album being on CD is that you won't get the fabulous artwork that emblazoned the LP. It was a fold-out cover with beautiful color paintings on all four panels. Luckily I color-copied the sleeve my mother had before it got moldy in the basement...oh well, what we give up for convenience and storage space.
The Roar of Love: A Musical Journey Into the Wonder of C.S. Lewis' Narnia Poster
Get the music of Narnia from C.S. Lewis beloved books, "The Chronicals of Narnia". "The Roar of Love" will take you on a musical journey to Narnia, sung by the award-winning group, the 2nd Chapter of Acts.This extraordinary world - Narnia - is a magical land situated somewhere between the lampost and Cair Paravel on the western sea. But don't try to find it on a map, for it won't be there. Which isn't to say that Narnia is a figment of one's imagination. Oh no, it's much more than that. it's a place you'll more likely to find in your heart, as you embrace its wonders with your spirit.
