Description
This scintillating vocal music from the Pacific Rim features composers
and poets from China, Japan, California, New Zealand, and Australia ... and one ancient Anglo-Saxon Seafarer. Unusual and lovely music sung by the Grammy-winning vocal ensemble, Ars Nova Copenhagen, under their conductor Paul Hillier, and with early harp virtuoso Andrew Lawrence-King. The music on this recording looks mostly beyond Europe for its inspiration, and does so in two ways. Firstly, the composers come from the Pacific Rim. Secondly, they are composers who have consciously looked beyond Western aesthetic traditions to create a musical language with a variety of different reference points. Some have found their sources close at hand in the aboriginal cultures of the land where they live, while others have
looked towards the religions and music of Asia. The results are still based in concert music not musical exotica but the direction from which their ideas have arrived gives their music a sense of openness and receptivity.
