JEFF JOHNSON & BRIAN DUNNING
"MUSIC OF CELTIC LEGENDS, THE BARD & THE WARRIOR"
Windham Hill
To compose this album, Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning were inspired in legends and ancestral customs of the Irish and the Celtic culture in general. The eleven compositions that integrate this CD not only include elements of a Celtic style, but also of Ambient and symphonic Music, giving as a result a music with its own identity; moreover, it is ideal as a movie soundtrack for an adventure film. Each one of the themes, although continuing with the general format, gets near one of the styles mentioned before. For example, "The Crossing", "The Ancient Song" and "The Raven Stone" are the most magical, ethereal pieces, owing a good deal of their character to the synthesizers.
