good calm music December 26, 2008
This is a very good calm music, it is good to study whit or to sleep whit or just to lie calm in bed! I just hope some day R. Carlos Nakai play and do a cd whit Robert Tree Cody whit calm music like this cd and whit calm good drum, like the good drums of the group Xavier Quijas Yxayotl! It would be a dream to have all these musicians in a cd, them it would be so good to have it in my colection, together whit the wonderful, beautiful cd call: Masters of the Shakuhachi by Seizan Ikeda, Toshinao Sato, Japanese Traditional, and Hozan Yamamoto.
Haunting flute music from R. Carlos Nakai November 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
R. Carlos Nakai comes from Ute-Navajo background, and his instrument is a Native American flute. And his musical voice is compelling, as exemplified in this CD. According to liner notes, he has released over thirty recordings, since his first in the middle 1980s. A few lines from the last page of the liner notes:
"At the first blaze of sunlight over the horizon
The prayer is finished and thus begins the new day.
In beauty it returns. . ."
Some illustrative cuts:
"Song of Darkness": This is a rich and evocative piece, elegiac in its own way. This is both mournful and soulful music.
"Obsidian Talisman": Another soulful piece. Some notes trail off softly until the sound ends. A moment of quiet and then the music sounds once again. This creates a telling effect for me.
"Sunrise Prayer, in Beauty:" Here, vocal chanting goes along with flute playing. The joining of voice and flute provides an almost hypnotic quality to the music.
This is the first time that I have listened to a full work by Nakai; formerly, I had only heard a handful of pieces played on our local NPR station. So, if you are interested in Native American flute work, this should prove satisfying. And if you're simply interested in good music, whatever its genre, you could do a lot worse than this CD.

I have other CD's by Nakai and this new one is the culmination of all of Nakai's works. He is a genius when it comes to communicating to the world with his soft, serene and soothing music. I love him. A must CD...
