Editorial Reviews :
The San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble (SAVAE) invites people from different faiths to celebrate their various religious roots with the gift of song. The Ancient Echoes CD features recreations of music from the time of Jesus and Jerusalem's Second Temple, which makes it the perfect gift for people of all denominations. Composed after years of intense study, Ancient Echoes draws from Jewish and Christian sources and Islamic influences to create a collection of spiritual and emotive choral and instrumental pieces.
SAVAE takes a landmark step toward recreating ancient music of the Holy Land - including original prayers of Jesus, sung in his native Aramaic language, sacred Levitical music from Jerusalem's Second Temple, and Essene chant from the Dead Sea Scrolls. A vibrant culture that was enriched by contact with distant lands connected along caravan routes is recaptured here, as SAVAE's voices ring out above the driving pulse of Middle Eastern rhythms to harmonize with ancient instruments. In this musical remembrance, Judaic and Christian scripture offer the listener renewed inspiration.
Buyer Reviews :
When I first began to listen to the cd I wasn't sure what to expect, but after listening to the first song 'Ashir Shirim', I was hooked & I knew the rest had to be good. With each song, I felt like dancing, kneeling & praying or meditating. The music is very ethereal,transporting you back into time & renews & refreshens the inner soul. What a blessing & inspiration! The more I listen to it, the more I yearn to hear it again! Each song is so unique & different from the next. I could not believe when reading the liner notes ,that like the guadalupe cd's, they sung & played the instruments in this new one. The instruments are so different & the rhythms difficult. And of course, the vocals....excellent! The research was also incredible. The studying of the languages comes through in their articulation, sounding very true to the languages spoken during that time. Then there is the compositions themselves...WOW... not enough can be said for the details given. SAVAE is wonderful on the Guadalupe cd's, but once again, with this cd, they have proven the talented musicianship it takes to be SAVAE.
