If you think the percussionist's role is merely to supply rhythmic backbone, you haven't encountered the phenomenon named Evelyn Glennie. The category-defying Scottish musician has spent her career pursuing the unique route of percussion virtuoso, turning music into an intensely hyperactive verb. Glennie's sound world encompasses a global, pan-cultural panoply of music makers in addition to the standard drum kit: watergongs, bamboo sticks, ceramic bells, car exhaust pipes, finger cymbals, thundersheet--to name a few from the arsenal she uses here (Glennie reportedly owns over 1,000 percussive instruments). Even in her interpretations of works by other composers--such as James MacMillan's Veni, Veni, Emmanuel or the Grammy-nominated Concerto for Percussion by Joseph Schwantner--Glennie scoops out plentiful opportunities for improvisation; but the concept of Shadow Behind the Iron Sun was to allow Glennie to lock herself up in her studio and improvise the entire album. With the help of her collaborator, pop mixmaster Michael Brauer, the result is a fantastically textured, mesmerizing adventure for the ears and the imagination. Despite a vague ambition to explore "as many moods as possible" (Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead was apparently the source for some of the picturesque titles here, such as "Attack of the Glow Worm" and "Wind Horse"), the variety and juxtaposition of colors evoke a cinematically gripping, almost synesthetic sense of atmosphere--yet another evolution of "program music" into the 21st century? Much of the fun is in experiencing sounds whose origin remains mysterious, as Glennie performs her one-woman-as-orchestra wonders. --Thomas May

5 out of 5 stars music i hear with my body .......2005-03-09

I love this album!!! Evelyn Glennie is the most profound percussionist I have ever heard. Her music penetrates my body: sometimes I feel it in my heart, sometimes in my solar plexis. I feel it in my soul. This album can be enjoyed over and over and over. Thank You Evelyn Glennie! Big Gratitude!

5 out of 5 stars Beyond Belief.......2004-06-16

I went to a solo concert of hers because I had heard what I thought must be hype of her wonder. I was totally and utterly destroyed by her performance. She has complete technical perfection, tremendous athletic ability (yes percussion demands of the body), personal charm, and dramatic zest. Many of the albums I listened to after disappointed me because she clearly held herself within the strict measure of the others she performed with. I suspect her deafness makes her fearful of any rubatto in an orchestral setting. This album is the only one that begins to give a sense of her god-like gifts.

5 out of 5 stars You don't listen to it, you experience it.......2001-03-01

This CD is a true experience, similar to Charles Ives' "New England Holidays". The range of instruments Glennie uses and creates brings to mind Mickey Hart's statement about drummers being desperate and doing anything to produce sounds. Her music gets into your mind and body. It's appealing enough that my son, a rap fan, sat fascinated while "Land of Venden" was playing. His comment, "This is almost scary!", leads to my opinion that her talent is almost scary. Do yourself a favor and buy this one, it provides great mental and emotional rejuvenation.

5 out of 5 stars Something a little different.......2000-09-23

Even if percussion sans so-called melodic instruments isn't what you think of when selecting a cd you've got to listen to this. Ms Glennie creates quite a melodic and dramatic tapestry and draws the listener right into the middle of it. Yes, it does take a few listenings to penetrate to the gist of it but that only enhances the genuine beauty contained here. Perhaps that is a given in any deeply creative work.

5 out of 5 stars A near-perfect album.......2000-04-08

Even my dog liked it -- mesmerized by the music, staring at the stereo like the mutt in the RCA logo.

Solo percussion is, admittedly, an acquired taste. The song samples here give you a reasonable flavor of the album. If you don't like them, don't buy it.

At the same time, Glennie has done more than anybody to advance the art, the possibilities, and the popularity of percussion. (I saw her perform a snare solo encore last year that brought the audience to its feet.) In this album, she operates with more freedom and pushes more boundaries than in anything she's done to date. Yet it's still an approachable and genuinely exciting collection of music.

5 out of 5 stars amazing!!.......2007-04-11

When I first listened to this album, I was so moved! This CD is worth buying just for the song Forevermore. The way Michael Gungor's voice builds as he talks about God...wow. It's amazing, just like all the other songs!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT WORSHIP MUSIC.......2006-05-31

We bought this CD after seeing The Michael Gungor Band perform at Aquire the Fire last year. We love it. The Band sings for all ages. I recomend you not only purchase the CD but also, if you get a chance, see them live. It will truely touch you.

5 out of 5 stars Energizing music to launch your soul!.......2006-03-28

Just heard Michael Gungor at the San Francisco Battle Cry Stadium Event. Awesome!! The song "Battle Cry" was so energizing. Imagine 25,000 people singing it at the top of their lungs in SBCPark!! This is my new theme song! The full CD is a great mix of worship songs. This is a keeper!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2006-03-14

I saw Michael Gungor band at ATF in Tampa this past weekend. They are an incredible worship band. You need to get the CD for yourself, a friend both Christian ,non Christian. This music will transform your life. I had not heard of Michael Gungor previously now I cannot play it enough. Don'tmiss his band live when you get a chance.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good worship album.......2005-10-18

Maybe im a little biased because Michael Gungor is the worship leader at my church. But The album is a great live worship album. Pretty Original and songs arent sappy cliche worship songs. My favorite song would have to be "Im Free".

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars American national music as it should be heard!.......2006-06-28

Before adding my two cents, I read each of the several reviews already present. The one which comes closest, in my opinion, is that of Mr. Buursma, who notes the outstanding musical quality of this disk. Those who found it old-fashioned or not exciting enough we suspect would say the same about Beethoven's 9th or Mozart's Requiem. Flashy, it isn't; musically excellent it is!

I don't know what the reviewers mentioning the Mormon Tabernacle Choir had in mind. There is really no comparison between Shaw's singers and the massive, but less expressive, forces of that choir.

The late Robert Shaw was an unmatched phenomenon in choral music. He possessed an unfailing instinct and an impeccable taste in his musical leadership. And he carefully built up a group of singers to carry out his musical vision. We are more indebted to him than many apparently realize. No matter; time will bear out his musical worth, and he will still be appreciated by generations yet unborn.

The dangers in "patriotic" music are flashiness, over-emphasis on martial qualities, and generally "sound and fury signifying nothing." Those characteristics are totally alien to Shaw's musical nature, though he does, of course, realize the need to communicate the musical message effectively.

As to him who felt a Sousa approach would be more fitting, I ask what he thinks the song America The Beautiful is about. It is far more a poem or even a hymn than a battle song. Even the Battle Hymn of the Republic is as much hymn as battle cry.

I hope this CD is never allowed to go out of print. I doubt if it will ever be superseded, despite its 1962 sound. It is, quite simply, the best version you will find of most, if not all, the songs included here.

5 out of 5 stars Patriotic Songs As They Should be Performed!.......2005-11-02

I am a devotee of this genre and The Robert Shaw Chorale does each song justice. This album (note my age, it is a CD!) makes my chest swell with pride. Being a Civil War buff, I found the many songs of that conflict to be an added treat. If you appreciate this type of music you should certainly buy this record. (old guy again...CD!)

5 out of 5 stars Excellent choral CD.......2005-10-16

Battle Cry Of Freedom is an excellent choral CD by the Robert Shaw Chorale !

5 out of 5 stars A good performance of Robert Shaw Chorale.......2005-06-24

When you read the back cover, you note that the original recording was done in 1962. It does not look like that. The sound is still perfect, the songs are very well sung, it is easy to sing along and, more generally, the voices of the singers of the Robert Shaw Chorale are always excellent. For me, it is a good CD and you may buy it in full confidence.

4 out of 5 stars For traditionalists, this is hard to beat..........2004-12-10

If you want a CD with the most popular patriotic or military anthems on it, performed in classic formal style by great artists, varied because it features not only a mixed chorus of men and women, but soloists and a symphony orchestra too, buy this one before it goes out-of-print. First issued in 1962, this disc features not only "America" and "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" but also a stirring long version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Less familiar is "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean", which I've always liked. It closes with "The Star-Spangled Banner" of course. Inbetween is a great version of "Yankee Doodle" and a Civil War medley which offers not just songs from the righteous Union side, but a few from the traitorous Confederacy, too. There is also a medley of the armed forces anthems for the Marines, the Navy, the Air Force and the Army. I purchased this recently as a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law, who is 81, was a young bride with an Air Force husband during World War II, and is as conservative a Christian as any good Southern Baptist can be. I hope she'll like it, even though country and western music from the '40's and '50's is her special thing. If you have a desire to have these kind of songs in your collection, the Robert Shaw outfit does them in high style and you'll likely be happy with this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Performance and Collection of Songs.......2006-03-29

I am impressed with the quality of the Gramercy Brass Ensemble's performance of these traditional American Patriot pieces.

Beautiful sound, outstanding musicianship, classic yet spirited arrangements, and wide variety from national anthems to branch-specific armed forces hymns.

I would recommend this recording to anyone looking to hear American Patriotic music at its best. A very nice CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great Patriotic CD.......2004-02-21

This is a great CD if you ever need or want to have patriotic music. American music played by an American brass band. This group sounds terrific. For those of you unfamiliar with brass band, it is comprised of 25 brass players and 2 or 3 percussionists. You get a rich, full sonority and these guys play GREAT! This CD is HIGHLY recommended to all bras players who want to hear tone quality, timbre, intonation, and more. Band directors would be wise to use this as a model for their students for everything from pitch to phrasing. Everybody else would be wise to pick it up if you like Americana. I know people who use this for their commute because it is upbeat and uplifting. Excellent CD!!!! You may also want to check out their second CD entitled "Christmas Time Is Here". Also highly recommended.

2 out of 5 stars not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

3 out of 5 stars Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

1 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

1 out of 5 stars Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

5 out of 5 stars A very good CD to buy.......2005-07-06

I have bought many CD regarding American patriotic songs but it is the one that I prefer. The songs are sung in a very classic way and so, there are easy to listen. Jon English as a tenor gives an excellent performance. On the piano, Rob Carriker gives also an excellent performance; he does not try to cover the voice of Jon English but just to support his voice. So, Jon English and Rob Carriker form a very fine duo and the quality of recording is excellent. The choice of songs is also excellent. I strongly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars What an Excellent Work of Art!.......2002-08-30

John English has a booming and resounding voice. Well suited for the rough and tough songs of our countries historic wars. It is an excellent buy, and I recommend it to any fans of great songs and American historics!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2002-08-30

This cd is excellent! I reccomend it to everyone!! Jonathon English has got an amazing voice!

5 out of 5 stars What A Blast - A Fun and Inspiring CD.......2002-07-30

I have to admit - I didn't know what I'd be getting when I bought this album. I love Americana and have known some of these songs all my life: K-K-K-Katy, Keep the Home-Fires Burning, and Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. Others that are listed I had never heard before: The Soldier's Tear, When Alexander Takes His Ragtime Band to France, and the very funny Captain Jinks! From first to last I found this CD a joy to hear. Jon English has a beautiful voice, and he sings with such clarity that you can understand every word! There are songs that will get your feet taping, and others that will bring a tear to your eye. The chorus is quite obviously not a professional choir, and that's all the better! They sing with an infectious energy and spirit that'll make you want to sing along. Add into that the horns, flute and percussion and this album becomes very pleasant experience. This is one of the best CD's I've heard in a long time, and I heartily recommend it.

For those of you who enjoy the music, as it was sung and played during the Civil War, this recording is a "must!" J.A. McA.

5 out of 5 stars Living history.......1999-07-31

So shoot me. I like bagpipe music and I like fife and drum recordings and I like brass bands. Recently cruisin' the Internet brought me to the website of a company called Summit Records out in Arizona; and my eye was caught by the title (DCD 126) with a group calling itself The Americus Brass Band. I obtained a copy post haste and I want to all to know about it with equal rapidity. There is just short of 55 minutes of Civil War tunes played in a style that is "historically accurate, right down to the high military pitch and the clicking of the rotary valves on the original antique instruments employed" (as the notes tell us). The history of the band is available in those notes, so let me just dwell on the "music that still produces feelings of humor, joy, sadness, and patriotic pride." Well, what music does not produce at least one of those?--and I am not entirely sure there was anything about the Civil War of which we on either side should be particularly proud. But Sing a Song of Suffering seems to be an eternal way of making the best of a rotten situation during war time; and this CD is replete with such memories as "Tenting Tonight," "Amazing Grace," "Woodman, Spare That Tree," and even a little bit of the "William Tell Overture" and a Meyerbeer opera! In short, this is not the expected line up of soldier songs but selections that are "typical of that which might have been played by a group such as the Americus Brass band." I love it. Give it a try, please.

4 out of 5 stars Rock is Dead?.......2004-08-14

This is the most honest rock record I've heard in years.
It makes rock n' roll..... fun!! Dangerous!! unpredictable!Things it should be!!!
I am still waiting to see them live, which I'm told is like seeing The Replacements on a "ON" night.
My advice, grab a 6 pack, a pack of smokes, a CD player,
Battle Cry for Help, & let the good times roll!

5 out of 5 stars best live rock show ive see in while.......2003-10-07

I saw these guys play in NYC and was immediately impressed by the energy and originality of their live show. No antics just good beer drinking foot tapping rock. Their music is that od middle america indie rock with some hank willimas meets the replacements and mid era soul asylum. buy it.

5 out of 5 stars best new band I've heard in a long time.......2002-02-15

This band reminds me of the classic Minneapolis bands of the late 80's - Replacments, Husker Du, Soul Asylum. But they have their own sound too - they throw in Texas elements like pedal steel guitar. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Moving traditional music.......2004-02-05

Music of the period performed in the style of the period and with great feeling. Don't be afraid that the music is "stuffy" or academic. It is funny, sad, and rousing. It gives the feeling of immediacy that never goes out of style.

5 out of 5 stars Splendid program, beautifully done!.......2002-06-01

A splendid program of varied, contrasting pieces for voice and
instruments. All performers are complete masters of this music
and its idiomatic performance style, and they execute it with skill, wit and (where appropriate) real depth of feeling.

This is an album which everyone who loves Civil War music,
or who is meeting it here for the first time, will cherish.

5 out of 5 stars Attention Hardcore Reenactors.......2000-09-14

I am a campaign-style Union reenactor in the Eastern US who has emphasized Civil War-era music in my knowledge base. I was also a musician for several years. DC Hall's New Concert ensemble has done a first-rate job of recreating our Northern ancestors' music. From my reading, their efforts have approximated the small, live music groups that were popular before and during the War. The liner notes are well-written, and historically accurate. Perfect for background music when having your pards over to count threads or make up rounds. I recommend it without hesitation.

5 out of 5 stars This is always going to be one of my favorites!.......1999-05-08

D.C. Hall's NC&QB is a wonderful small ensemble that really adds new light to the Civil War genre. At times, it is so tender in feeling (The Picture on the Wall)and then rowdy in spirit (The Year of Jubilo). The familiar Star Spangled Banner is done in a wonderful unique rythme. Get this recording!

When I listen to this recording I feel impelled to jump to my feet and sing along. Some of the best sounds the musicians of our U.S. military bands have produced. Jimerson's renditions are unsurpassed!

5 out of 5 stars Ed McMahon Was Right!.......2001-11-11

After I heard the music from this CD at the Ed McMahon Show in Branson, Missouri, I bought it. This has to be the best recording of patriotic music I've ever heard. The singers are Metropolitan Opera material and the band clearly employs many of the best bandsmen in the U.S. Armed Services.

3 out of 5 stars Middle of the road........2001-11-04

The American National Military Band is great. The singing is awful. It would have been much better to have remove the singing and just have an instrumental CD. This is a 5 star CD with 5 star music but the singer drops it to 3 stars. Would have been 1 star if there weren't a few well done instrumental songs in it.
