AT
THE EDGE OF DAWN
Drama and Radiance for Seekers
by James Forte
It is my joy to tell you about poet, musician and composer James Forte's latest work. His new compact disc entitled At the Edge of Dawn is beautiful, memorable and certainly special.
The first time I listened to At the Edge of Dawn (and I've listened to it many more times since), I discovered music that is all at once, meditative and mysterious, sweet and angelic. To that I must add transportive and dramatic.
How can this be? The answer to that question is Mr. Forte, himself. This lifelong poet is a composer with a varied musical output. Included are works for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensemble, solo piano as well as electronic instruments. In other words, and more to the point, James Forte is the epitome of creativity, versatility and musicianship.
At the Edge of Dawn is a tour-de-force of electronic music that is always reminiscent (I believe) of the spiritual music of India. What an artful juxtaposition...old and new in perfect harmony. There are 11 songs, all as different as night from day. Yet, the entire performance shares a oneness of the spirit. Every melody delivers Mr. Forte's unique ability to transport the listener to that place within, that place of God.
Combine the exquisite music with perfection in blending, mixing and superior musicianship and you begin to have an idea of the wonder of At the Edge of Dawn. James Forte has given us another album that you can listen to...listen to...and listen to...and continue to revel in its beauty and spirituality!
