Ingram Marshall - Savage Altars (2006)
Classical | EAC (APE & CUE) | 258 MB

“Savage Altars, from a concert performance by the Tudor Choir, derives its title from the Roman historian Tacitus' Annals Book I, which chronicles the Roman campaigns against the German tribes. They suffered a devastating defeat by the Cheruscan soldiers in the Teutobugian forest. Six years later, the remains, bleached out bones, splintered spears and debris, of three Roman Legions, were found, the whole of which was named "barbarae arae"—savage altars. Elements of the hymn Magnificat, and the canon "Sumer is i cumen in" are also interwoven in melodic and textual contributions. This was written on the eve of the first Gulf War under Bush the elder.
—Ingram Marshall

If there's a reference to the first Gulf War indeed, one may wonder who were the Romans in Marshall's view, and who the Germanic barbarians, but, er...I guess that's politics, ha.

I think that WAS the whole point Marshall wanted to get across. ;)

"I hope my music is remembered for its personality rather than its style or historical position …" tell somewhere Marshal
Thanks for this sharing, peach

Well. I'm jokingly carrying the analogy to the end now - either Saddam or Bush acting as Roman emperor Augustus? I'm laughing my head off here

Whatever the intent, it's more great music from Ingram Marshall. 'Discovering' him has led me to many new delights in the world of modern classical/avant garde (or whichever pigeonhole you prefer). Many thanks to the uploader.
