Description
Instrumental - Ancient Egyptian Temple Music
Gerald Markoe has created an album of Egyptian temple music - every song brings images to the mind of hot desert winds, blowing sands, the streets of Cairo (or some other major city in Egypt)... and more significantly, the cool halls and rising stone pillars of the temples of Isis and Horus. I don't have the dust jacket from this album, so I can't determine what instruments he used for it, so I'm assuming he used contemporary harp, flute, bells and the synthesizer to emulate the ancient Egyptian instrument. Since he plays the harp, I can imagine that he performed on a qanun (Arabic: قانون, qānūn) - a form of zither. Also, the percussion in these songs sounds like an ancient Egyptian sistrum (in early Egyptian, it was called a Sekhem - which is a simple, hoop-like sistrum. (The Sekhem was a sacred instrument, by the way). In any case, while he chose to call this album a collection of "meditations", I find the music too unusual, too unique, to sit back and close my eyes to. I was touring temples and ancient Egyptian city streets the entire time I was recording this last night! Sharing Widget |
