Product Description
CD Description
Blackmore's Night features the talents of guitarist RitchieBlackmore and vocalist Candice Night. Blackmore is best known for his work with the rock band Rainbow, and before that,the legendary group Deep Purple. However he has long since been interested in mediaeval and Renaissance music.
On UNDER A VIOLET MOON, Blackmore and Night blend together acoustic pop with English mediaeval music. To add an air of authenticity, they employ such instruments as a hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, pennywhistles, and vintage tambourines. However, Blackmore's guitar is the backbone of this music, and he accompanies Night with unerring sensitivity. Night sings in a relaxedmezzo-soprano on each piece. Most of all, listeners will enjoy following the lyrics, since each tune is centred on an exciting mediaeval tale. Highlights include the war song "March the Heroes Home", the wistful "Castles and Dreams", and the forlorn "Catherine Howard's Fate". On the latter, Night sings of heartbreak, betrayal, and lovesickness. Even though this melody is antiquated, and the lyric is sung in Middle English, this story is wholly universal. UNDER A VIOLET MOON is the perfect album for those who wish to dabble in light, non-academic period music.
