beautiful patriotic music.......2003-08-28

This is an excellent CD. The music, both voices and orchestra, is superb. The content of the lyrics is inspiring. It reminds me of so many reasons I'm proud to be American.

All new recordings, with a strong patriotric theme.......2003-07-16

Surprised that no one has reviewed this yet. Amazon.com doesn't give much info on this release, so I thought I'd rectify that. This is the second brand-new release on the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" label, following their April 2003 release of "Consider the Lilies." Again, several of the arrangements are by Mack Wilberg, with direction by Craig Jessop and accompianment by the Orchestra at Temple Square. The track list is as follows:

1 America the Beautiful
Music: Samuel A. Ward

Text: Katherine Lee Bates
Arrangement: Mack Wilberg (Oxford University Press) 4:30

2 Bound for the Promised Land
Music: American folk hymn.
Arrangement: Mack Wilberg (Oxford University Press) 2:35

18 Call of the Champions
Music: John Williams
Text: Olympic Motto 4:47

The sound on this release is, if anything, even cleaner than the previous release, with the Choir and orchestra very evenly balanced. The programming includes a mix of both traditional and brand new songs, a couple of which (Stephen Paulus's "Hymn For America," and Charles Osgood's "The Pledge of Allegiance") were commissioned especially for this recording. Additional note: several of these songs were included on the Choir's 2003 Northeastern States tour, which was a huge success. I highly recommend this recording!

Disappointing To Me.......2006-07-31

I'm just one person but this isn't what I expected. It's good and I've listened to it several times but it isn't what I anticipated it would be.

The advertising I'd heard on the radio led me to order this product. I'm learning to be more cautious. I assumed that what was said on the radio would be true when the product arrived.

I'd not buy again.

I love Spirit Nation, although there are similarities between Spirit Nation and Sacred Spirit, I strongly feel Spirit Nation 'DOES NOT' copy Sacred Spirit.

Instead it has it's own style of music with vocal chants and ambient drum beats.

My most favorite is 'Celebration'. If you love Sacred Spirit's Yeha-Noha, then you'll love Celebration, it too is very beautiful and timeless.

I give this album 2 thumbs up for it's beautiful music and once again... Spirit Nation DOES NOT copy Sacred Spirit... It has it's own style of music...

Buy it and you'll love it!!

Multiple Heritaged People Rejoice!!.......2005-12-17

With honor given to both her Saulteuax/Ojibway and Jewish heritages, Tamara Podenski blends her love of her parents' teachings, their native languages and an outstanding voice. Tamara gives hope to all of us who are "half-breeds" and celebrate the beauty of diversity that lives in our dual or multiple heritages.

A fusion of languages, traditional and electronica musical styles and Tamara's amazing vocal talent, it is some of the best contemporary Native American music I've heard - and I own over 200 Native American CDs and heard countless more. Applause is highly due to this creative, respectful yet cutting-edge musical work!

More cross-cultural collision on the electronica frontier.......2002-09-30

Spirit Nation returns with another strong showing in their new-age meets native american meets electronica hybrid, placing themselves firmly at the head of the class for groove-laden spiritually-rooted modern electronic music. Once again, at the heart of Spirit Nation is the creative duo of guitarist Steve Rosen and keyboardist Jimmy Waldo. This time out vocalist Tamara Podenski is out front instead of Judy Crescenzo. Where before were songs sung in Lakota "Winter Moons" gives us songs in Saulteaux/Ojibway. Not speaking either language I have to say the personnel substitution will not be noticed by many, the transition being handled as smoothly and professionally as when Phil Collins replaced Peter Gabriel as the Genesis vocalist in 1975.

All the strong points of the eponymous debut are back in force, with the same stellar production presenting the songs in the best possible light. However, overly repeated grooves and the recycling of musical ideas from song to song is still the major drawback and weakness of Spirit Nation, but that one criticism shouldn't distract from the overall beauty of this excellent second album, which will even suggest Cirque Du Soleil's faux world-music fused with Pink Floyd atmospheres in places. After all, groove is at the center of what this band does, so emphasis
on groove over other ideas must be expected. Once again Jimmy Waldo turns to his mellotron to underscore the emotional impact of the compositions (though I have a suspicion that much of the strings and choir are samples this time around) -- making this again peripherally of interest to fans of progressive rock.

Album number three will show us if Spirit Nation have more ideas to offer or if they'll fall into the Enigma trap of making the same couple of records over and over again. Perhaps a slightly darker tone might help next time out, lads. If the debut didn't do much for you, then avoid this. But if it's well executed blend of cultures and styles grabbed you, jump on "Winter Moons".

Great intro to cross-over music.......2002-08-20

For anyone interested in evoking the spirit of Native Americans, but who want something with a definite pop culture beat, this is the album for you. I bought it after initially hearing the first track Ododaymiwan, and was not disappointed. Still, I advise listeners to listen to at least one song from the CD first before buying, because much of the music is similar, and getting a feel for it will help you determine if this is for you.

Engima Meets the Ancestors While Dancing with Wolves.......2001-11-19

What a good buy! I got this a few days ago, after being intensely interested in an artist from Canada whose father is an Ojibwa and whose mother is Israeli, and who sings in three languages.
I haven't got much music in my "World" section, but this is definitely near the top of the list.
The whole CD makes me want to close my eyes and feel its rhythms and melodies, and though at times, these can be a little repetitive, the use of Gregorian chant in the third track, "We Are Still Here," is gorgeous: you can feel the spirits of her (and your) ancestors, holding you close. This track in particular and the whole CD in general, could be described as "Enigma meets World."
And the 10th track, "Ahsayma (Tabacco)" is great: the voices haunt, and you can feel the gods gathering about to listen to your prayers. Other particularly good tracks include number 4, and 7.
Highly recommended!

The collaborators of this CD have done a masterful job of blending famous artists, news reports, comments, and speeches of the participants of this historic event. I have continued to listen to this CD long after its initial release in 2001. I think it should be re-released on each anniversary of 9-11.

Music about open spaces, reflective thoughts, slower times, “Sacred Ground” is not really about a spot a map but a precious “sacred”-creative spot in the heart that can change us if we dare go there.

Sacred Ground by Bunny Sings Wolf.......2001-08-02

We have met Bunny and she is delightful. Her songs hold meaning to her. She brings her audience into the music by talking with them as she performs. She even asks the children if they would like to come up to participate in the music. Her voice is gentle, and caring. We also have her second CD "Buffalo Tales". It is another great album. Bunny performs at the Alpine Inn in Hill City, South Dakota. It is just delightful to hear her in person. As much as everyone loves to listen to her at the Alpine Inn, she really should be performing for a larger audience.
