Label: Soundscape Productions
This cinematic journey is a tribute to our National Parks
in the U.S. and the early explorers of the Americas. The music contained here
is the most colorful and moving journey one listener could experience in one
sitting. The orchestration, sounds of nature like water in stream, birds
singing and horses and wagons moving along a trail, are all part of this
presentation. You even hear the sounds of the piano from an early Western
saloon and a patron asking for a “stiff one.”
The poetry of Phillip Spevak is included in the informative
and entertaining CD booklet. This gives the music more life and a feeling of
the times that are emulated in each song. This is all top of the line
instrumental music just perfect for the big screen. I can think of some of the
Western films I watched with my father as a child and the music that would
accompany it. Those sweet carefree memories were relived in this music. My love
of nature and the need to protect it also was enhanced by listening.
We
Have Only Come To Dream is the complete package - history, a
storyline, and the most lush and gorgeous music you could possibly imagine.
From the opener “Phantasmagorical Voyage,” which is so powerful and picturesque,
to the relaxing tempo changing curtain closer “Canyon Sunset,” this a very
impressive release.
We
Have Only Come To Dream is destined to receive awards this year for
the music and production values that are A+ from start to finish. And what a
way to kick off the new year for Terry and Rebekah, they could not have been
more concise and impactful than this amazing group of tracks. I would expect
this recording to be considered into the Library of Congress or the Smithsonian
Institute at some point, and hopefully as soon as possible as it deserves
inclusion into one of our American Institutions.
If there is one album to make sure you get this year it is We
Have Only Come To Dream. Anyone that enjoys instrumental music that immerses
you in a soundscape and the atmospheres of days long past, this is the
recording to listen to!
