Global Celebration (Authentic Music from Festivals & Celebrations Around the World) [Box set]

Amazon.com
As this set's title implies, the 54 songs from nearly as many cultures all deal with happy community rituals. The four CDs are subtitled: "Dancing with the Gods: Religious Celebrations," "Earth Spirit: Cycles of Nature," "Passages: Turning Points in Life," and "Gatherings: Joyous Festivals." This music is more accessible and less rigorously authentic than "Voices of Forgotten Worlds;" it includes such "worldbeat" hybrid musics as Trinidadan soca, South African township jive, New Orleans Mardi Gras music, modern Celtic folk music, and African American gospel. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

Have an exotic Christmas!.......2005-11-28

This is one of my favorite Christmas CDs! While I enjoy the traditional songs and arrangements of the holiday season, this CD brings an exotic flair to those great old songs which puts new magic into holiday music such as God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Greensleeves. I also enjoy the gentle a cappella version of Silent Night and the untraditional songs, Boas Festas and Koledarska Pesen. This CD has an overall mellow feel, which makes it great background music for a holiday gathering, or to take the edge off after holiday shopping, or even great for a relaxing bubble bath. Enjoy Christmas with an exotic flair this year!

One of my Favorite Holiday Albums.......2004-12-21

I LOVE this album. It is so cool and unusual with the heavy Middle Eastern and jazz influence. I keep searching for more albums like this one, but nothing comes close.

Customer Reviews:

Cool Sdtk...But..........2006-10-04

I'm gonna keep this one short & sweet...I'm a lifetime fan of Star Wars, loved the music as much as I've loved the movies themselves, sought to buy the original scores, had to choose between the real deal and this one, saved 20 bucks buying the Story Continues, and loved it from day one. However, once listened to a few times from start to finish one can't help but spot the obvious, while this is an awesome production and re-recording of the original scores, the Global Stage Orchestra relies solely on synthesized instruments and you can feel the absence of REAL instruments. But it's still a keeper...especially for the Imperial death march. ~*REDD*~

Actually a decent re-recording of classics.......2006-10-01

Let me start out by saying that this album isn't nearly as bad as many people are saying. I bought it about a year ago at a store up here when the initial album I was looking for was sold out. Not wanting to leave empty handed, I glanced around and found this totally by chance (maybe the force made me find it, who knows:)) and decided to give it a shot.

I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect when I put it in once I got back. Initially after the first fifteen minutes of listening to it, I started to feel as if I maybe should have bought something else, BUT at the same time it was still catchy enough to leave in until the end of the first disc. Before I knew it, I listened to all three discs in one sitting while working on a paper and I must say, it was definitely worth whatever I payed for it.

The music is different enough where if you're getting tired of listening to the same things over and over, you can put it in and not worry about listening to something you've heard millions of times over. However the music is similar enough where if you're in a Star Wars mood, you can put it in and still be satisfied.

The "sythnesized" Star Wars sound is very catchy after a while and a very good addition to any hard core Star Wars fans' collection, or just to anyones collection of music in general. It's interesting to hear how the music is still able to catch all of the emotion that is in the original soundtracks (especially in Episode III) and still sound different. I will admit that the tracks seem to be a bit out of "order". While episodes 4, 5 and 6 come first (which is fine) episode 2 is next, followed by 1, then episode 3, and then back to episode 2 again. Not sure why this is, but it's not a real big deal, just a little odd. Definitely worth buying if you're into collecting all things Star Wars.

Fake instruments leave much to be desired.......2006-01-21

The synthesized instruments sound horrible. First off, when I bought this, I saw the name "Global Stage Orchestra" and was looking forward to hearing an orchestra -- of real instruments. What I was in for was a bad synthesized interpretation of John Williams wonderful music. If he were dead, I'm sure that he would roll over in his grave.

Many instruments sound so bad that it's distracting. For example, the smooth woodwind lines in "Duel of the Fates" sound detached and mechanical. Some brass instruments (which Williams uses liberally) sound more like car horns. Obviously not put together by a vocalist... the rear cover reads "MUSIC AND VOCALS PERFORMED BY THE GLOBAL STAGE ORCHESTRA." Apparently vocals are not music... which may be close to the truth in this case, since the vocals sound like hollow midi sampled voices. With so many great recordings out there... spend the extra few dollars and get a recording from a real orchestra.

The Force is NOT strong with this one..........2005-07-11

My friend loaned me these CD's recently, and let me say they are nothing compared to the original soundtracks.

The recordings sound actually half decent for synthesized instruments, but after hearing the superb London Symphony Orchestra in the original recordings, any artificial orchestra (and even some real orchestras!) is a real let-down. Especially painful are the sequences which call for lots of brass; the LSO was so great at delivering a theme at full blast in an intense action scene, and the MIDI brass just sounds cheesey. The interpretation is poor in a few key sequences as well, too.

Star Wars fans really deserve better than this; get the re-mastered trilogy set:

up to date with revenge of the sith.......2005-06-01

I just purchased this 3cd set while in Europe. It's indeed not the original soundtracks but high-quality "studio orchestra" selections from all 6 of the Star Wars movies, including R.O. Sith, mastered in SBM 24 bit sound. A good listen for Star Wars and John Williams fans at a nice price, attractively packaged in a 3 cd fold out digipack.

Kwanzaa is an African-American harvest festival that takes place each year from December 26 through January 1st. This CD is the second in a series of releases that showcase high-energy music performed by talented musicians from around the African diaspora. You will hear outstanding songs from many countries, including Haiti, Zaire, Brazil, Cuba, and the U.S.--sung in many languages, played to diverse rhythms, and all unified by the common bonds of joy and cultural pride. The accompanying booklet explains the roots of Kwanzaa and the meaning of the holiday. It also includes some excellent recipes for cooking up a Karamu (African Feast). Unlike other records that are tied to a certain season, this is one CD you will certainly enjoy year round. --Jeff Grubb
