Synopsis

Album Description

Sound in Spirit represents another leap forward in power and purpose for Chanticleer. On this recording they explore the profound connection between sound and healing. The repertoire weaves together compositions ancient and contemporary, East and West, so the listeners hear familiar and unfamiliar sounds in equal proportions. The texts and sounds are inspired by many different cultures along with religious and musical traditions from Tibet, India, Japan, Africa, indigenous America and Byzantine Greece.

CD Reviews

Another great Chanticleer album

Steven S. Schwartz | Dallas, Tx | 09/19/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"You have never heard an album from Chanticleer like this before! This CD explores the power of chants and hyms to transport us to the spiritual world.

The range, control, flexibility and power these singers possess is breath-taking.

The advantage to this CD is that it has continuous tracks so their is no stoppage from one track to another which provides for a wonderful listening experience. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because those of you who are new to Chanticleer might not be used to experiencial music but I encourage you to buy the album and listen to it over and over again. With each listening you will learn and discover new things you never heard a singer do before or even things you missed in the the previous sessions. This CD encourages you to explore with them the art of music and the power of the voice in chants. This is a great work and deserves your attention."

Champions of the new and adventuresome.

Benjamin L. Filippone | Pittsburgh, PA United States | 02/16/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Chanticleer is most definitely this, and much more. I applaud them for always being willing to try something new and challenge listeners. This is one of the many things that makes them the premier ensemble that they are so well know to be. Certainly, this is not a disc for people who are looking for a non-challenging listen. But it still contains things that will delight such people, especially the magnificently sung Victoria motet. Jennings' Beata plainsong arrangement, Jackson Hill's "In Winter's Keeping", and Past Life Melodies in particular will surely delight almost anyone, especially those who are into "new age" or minimalist music.

The more you listen, the more you realize there is an astonishing amount of variety in this recording. Anyone who is a fan of Chanticleer's adventuresome excursions, incredible flexibility of vocal techniques, and flawless singing will not be disappointed."

A glorious song

Book Squirrel | Iowa | 03/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Como pod'a groriosa, a 10 or 12 minute meditative song, track 7 of the album, is worth the entire price of the CD and more. It is a glorious piece of music that starts out with a lone voice, pleading to Mary for help for his lame daughter, then builds to an amazing crescendo as the daughter is healed and strides out into the world. You can hear the power return to the singer/singers, and it is easy to feel "healed" spiritually one's self, listening to it. I have shared this song with others and their response has been, universally, "Wow.""
