i thought i might try for a series of posts when i remembered putting audio links to music i love.
this – the hilliard ensemble and mnemosyne by jan Garbarek i heard a couple of times and was transfixed, and had to do quite a bit of searching before i found out what it was and could buy it. it is not perhaps the most accessible of classical music [unlike the vaughn williams].
It has also been fairly impossible to find much of a link, but here is one , albeit short. try the mnemosyne ones or the officium ones for the hilliard ensemble. haunting. Also samples on amazon. I don’t think all the tracks work, but the idea… and when it does work for me, it WORKS!
Sounds like the kind of thing that would be the theme on a detective/murder mystery TV drama. Not sure I like it but can’t put my finger on why not.
i guess i love the usual repertoire of the Hilliard ensemble. and this is my comfort zone with an edge creeping in! in some i think the sax is too prominent though
