░ ..;Release Notes;.. ░
░ The creator of the music on this ░
░ compilation is Hughes de Courson, a ░
░ figure of some prominence in France but ░
░ almost unknown elsewhere. He emerged from ░
░ the zone between folk rock and ░
░ progressive rock in France in the 1970s ░
░ and played for many years with a group ░
░ called Malincorne that, like comparable ░
░ English-language ensembles, occasionally ░
░ delved into aspects of the classical ░
░ tradition, using, for example, Baroque ░
░ orchestral instrumentation and medieval ░
░ melodic materials. Since leaving that ░
░ group, de Courson has intensified these ░
░ explorations and developed a range of ░
░ ways in which classical pieces can be ░
░ incorporated into music external to the ░
░ tradition. Note that for the most part, ░
░ these are pieces taken from world ░
░ traditions -- Arabic, Irish, West ░
░ African, and Andalusian are the most ░
░ common four -- with classical melodies, ░
░ many by Mozart, added to them; they are ░
░ not classical pieces with pop rhythms ░
░ added. The appeal is the fertility of de ░
░ Courson's mind in approaching the problem ░
░ of combining fundamentally disparate ░
░ materials. These pieces, drawn from ░
░ various de Courson albums (the double ░
░ disc is essentially a greatest-hits set), ░
░ are all different. They include Mozart ░
░ arias joined to Arabic songs (in The ░
░ Queen of the 1001 Nights, CD 2, track 2, ░
░ the Queen of the Night's big aria from ░
░ The Magic Flute is sung in Arabic), ░
░ Vivaldi-Irish fusions (which actually ░
░ have intriguing historical ░
░ underpinnings), Bach accompanied by ░
░ African drums (one group of Gabonese ░
░ drummers, intrigued by the relationship ░
░ of "Ruht wohl, ihr heiligen Gebeine," ░
░ from the St. John Passion, BWV 245, ░
░ apparently pronounced Bach an ░
░ "initiate"), and more. De Courson's ░
░ collaborators include not only Gabonese ░
░ musicians, but Bulgarian choristers, ░
░ flamenco players, an opera singer of Arab ░
░ descent, sampled children's voices from ░
░ various parts of the world, as well as ░
░ European stars from Gabriel Yacoub to ░
░ Nana Vasconcelos. To top it all off, the ░
░ relationship between the basis of a piece ░
░ and the quoted classical material is ░
░ quite diverse; it may involve ░
░ contest-like passages (sample the Alatul ░
░ Concerto for kaval and flute, CD 1, track ░
░ 15) or explore modal similarities between ░
░ Western scales and Arab structures. The ░
░ whole thing is, in short, very far from ░
░ being a novelty; it is a flexible, ░
░ intelligent exploration of the places ░
░ where the margins of musical traditions ░
░ may flow together. And it's likely to ░
░ hold your attention through two whole ░
░ discs and linger in the mind long ░
░ afterward. ░
