Paul Horn - Music (LP)

Paul Horn's "Music" is a captivating blend of Native American and New Age genres, released on January 1, 1993, under the Inside Music label. This 49-minute album is a testament to Horn's versatility and mastery, featuring a diverse range of compositions from renowned classical composers such as Bach, Palestrina, Lassus, and Duruflé, alongside pieces from English madrigalists Weelkes and Morley. Horn's flute work is the centerpiece of this album, weaving through the intricate polyphony of the motets and madrigals, and adding a spiritual depth to the chorales and canons. The inclusion of Duruflé's sacred choral works, "Ubi Caritas," "Tota Pulchra Es," and "Tantum Ergo," adds a contemplative and meditative dimension to the album. Horn's ability to seamlessly integrate these classical pieces with his own Native American influences creates a unique and enchanting listening experience.
