VARIOUS COMPOSERS
Officium
Jan Garbarek (soprano and tenor saxophones) / The Hilliard Ensemble
[ ECM New Series / CD ]
Release Date: Saturday 1 January 1994
A hauntingly beautiful combination of medieval unaccompanied choral music and jazz saxophone.
"St Gerold monastery was precisely the sort of building these centuries-old songs were intended for, so it's fascinating to hear how the acoustic responds to the modern sound of a saxophone. The result is strikingly beautiful. The blend of contemporary secular jazz and ancient European spiritual music is an audacious one, but it works strikingly." London Jazz News
