David Fanshawe | SILKD6003 | 5014929600321 | Album | Choral Music
David Fanshawe’s African Sanctus has received international acclaim. It is a celebratory and visionary work, expressing unity between people, their faiths and above all, their music. The much performed work is an unorthodox setting of the Latin Mass harmonised with traditional African music recorded by the composer on his now legendary journeys up the River Nile (1969-73). The taped music from Egypt, Sudan, Uganda and Kenya is heard in counterpoint with the live chorus, soprano soloist and instrumental ensemble. “Afro Latin, tribal choral masterpiece”. – The Observer
