PGM 294R : "CARAVAN"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a classic journey in the Middle Eastern soundspace
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-13-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Dramatic, darkly emotional, and still exotic to Western ears,
the music of the Middle East continues to fascinate contemporary
musicians.

We're listening to a nicely crafted example of the Biblical epic
genre of movie music by SHELDON MIROWITZ from the soundtrack
for the television production "Columbus and the Age of Discovery."

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
we journey once again through these ancient nomadic soundspaces,
softly wailing melodies, and gently rocking rhythms, on a program
called CARAVAN.
