Album

John Luther Adams says, My music is going inexorably from being about place to becoming place. Photograph by Evan Hurd. Save this story for later. On a recent trip to the Alaskan interior, I didnt get to see the aurora borealis, but I did, in a way, hear it. You sit on a bench before five glass panels, which change color according to the time of day and the season. What you notice first is a dense, organlike sonority, which Adams has named the Day Choir. Its notes follow the contour of the natural harmonic series-the rainbow of overtones that emanate from a vibrating string-and have the brightness of music in a major key. John Luther Adams born January 23, 1953 in Meridian, Mississippi is a composer whose music is inspired by nature, especially the landscapes of Alaska where he has lived since 1978. Like many composers of his generation, John Luther Adams did not grow up immersed in scored music. Adams began playing music as a teenager, as a drummer in rock bands. Through his experience in rock bands, friends introduced him to the music of Frank Zappa. Through the liner notes of a Zappa album, he discovered Edgard Varèse. Similarly, Varèse's liner notes brought him to John Cage. But it was not read more. Here, over orchestration of strings and percussion, five narrators recite the text, an impressionistic portrait of the Arctic landscape. The narrative voices, frequently overlapping, present the text in English, Latin, and two Native American languages. Adams sets his narration over graceful string passages, which he punctuates with harsh, bracing percussion trios. It's beautiful work, but Adams here still doesn't seem to be entirely his own man.

To me, this is the most beautiful John Luther Adams album. Within the spacious architecture of contrasting sounds, coming, dwelling and dissipating, there is a great awareness of the silence out of which the sounds arise. A great sense of suspense pervades throughout the album, from the most serene passages to the most vigorous ecstatic drumming. I am very happy with the discovery of this earlier work by JLA. If this work were a fair representation of the weather in north eastern Alaska then it is a thundery, rainy place - I guess snow and ice don't make much noise
