New Age/World Music composer Grayhawk’s visionary and ambitious album, Voice of the Ancestors, serves as a triumphant conclusion to his Shamanic Trilogy which began with Shaman Journey and continued with Blissful Magic – Spiral of the Celtic Mysteries.
Unprecedented in scope, Voice of the Ancestors, seduces the listener with eight emotionally-rich world-new age tracks that begins with three intimate trios, Transcendent Soul, The Banteay Srei Temple & Guardians of Goddess Thien Hau, featuring GRAMMY® WINNER Wouter Kellerman’s flute, Amy Shulman’s concert harp & the exotic Asian dan bau performed by its greatest master,
Hai Phuong.
Complementing Grayhawk’s state-of-the-art keyboard & synthesizer sonorities, we are graced on the title track, Voice of the Ancestors, with the vocal enchantments & native flutes of Windwalker, the undulating, sensual worldbeat percussion of Brad Dutz, the ambient guitar of David Vito Gregoli, Karen Olson’s masterful viola, Jill Haley’s exquisite English horn & oboe, the gift of Kirsten Vogelsang’s violin-cello and the incomparable vocal interpretations of Randy Crenshaw.
Then, in a surprising shift, the thunderous power of Peace Prayer unleashes 160 tracks of invocation in English, Hebrew, Farsi & Arabic to all who will listen. The unparalleled, multilingual blend of voices performed with passionate professional precision by musical sages GRAMMY® WINNER Darlene Koldenhoven, Randy Crenshaw, Ofir Engel (A.K.A. Queen Ofir) and Bahman Mojallal is so harmonious that we feel hope in our hearts that peace will break out worldwide.
Finally, the listener can relax into the luxury of Ambient Meditation to relish a free-form improvisational sonic temple based on the themes and textures developed throughout Voice of the Ancestors.
