Set 1: the beautiful music portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
| Ketawang: Pusawarna (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) | Court Gamelan From The Pura Paku Alaman, Jogyakarta | Nonesuch (Explorer series) | In these 3 pieces, we hear the most beautiful gamelan music I know. To me, they are a culmination of it, in this specific case of the royal court music of Paku Alaman. The first 2 tracks really stand out, with #2 the most beautiful of all. Written around 1755, the work is considered a pusaka (heirloom), and is justifiably famous. | *** | ||||||

| Soeur Marie Keyrouz |
Magnificat (track 1)
(Listen:
Pop-up)
|
Cantiques de l'Orient | Harmonia Mundi |
Quite beautiful. It's her interpretation of Eastern (Middle Eastern) Christian liturgical singing, but sung in Arabic. And she gets the full studio treatment.
She has recorded several albums, all of which I recommend highly. |

New Year's Eve...everyone's having fun except over-moralizing and scornful Mary...an invalid mother - she says...schizophrenic Mary, lonely Mary - who finally meets a fella on the way home and falls in love...she lies and chases him away...and about that mother - it seems she's been dead for 2 years.
