Review by Kerry Barnes
My opening statement is:
This is one of THE most beautiful sounds I’ve
ever heard!!!!!
A sound only made in heaven begins to
emerge from the misty depths of the forest.
Gently revealing itself to the atmosphere for
all to see.
I’m being transported, literally.
I deeply sense a young choir in 4 part
harmony with a vocal borrowed from a
goddess on high. A beautiful melodic thread
made from a rising 6th, then slowly
descending 3rds floating down. This tune is
then repeated like an angelic drone.
My shoulders have gently lowered and I don’t
have a care in the world!!
So mesmerising.
In a clearing nearby, a white, sparkly, grand
piano with flowers for strings, begins to sing!
It’s song is resonate and it calls to all of us.
Each and every note is vital, and loaded with
gold and silver.
The young voices sing in their own language,
words I do not know, only known by the
Omaticaya Clan of the Na’vi people who have
a deep connection to the forest.
The song of the soaring eagle looks down
upon us, the wind carrying it’s tune.
It speaks to the flowering, sparkly piano and
say’s “play us your most beautiful chord” and
it does so by briefly departing from it’s
singular thread of silver and gold.
The singing of the children starts to fade.
It’s making way for the sweeping vocals of the
elders. The dynamics become richer still when
swathes of notes fall from the sky in their
microtonal portamente
A rather urgent and ascending piano motif
fills the sound of the forest right down to the
single blading grass.
A building crescendo, layers in green, and fills
thy flora and fauna with a wall of sound!! It
keeps strong for a while when gradually, very
gradually, the youthful voices emerge once
again, but this time with a sense of a closing
diminuendo.
The forest, the children, and the elders are
now resting in a dusky pink twilight,
serenaded by a Permanent Lullaby.

Bravo Elyssia!!
