This album is based on a challenging idea: Try to recreate a musical form from a culture and period
that left behind no recordings or musical notation, using only history, a description of the instruments,
and some historical artifacts. It takes intuition as much as scholarship and craftsmanship to recreate the
ancient instruments of Egypt--from simple percussion and flutes to boat-shaped and triangular harps
and trumpets. Atherton, with his musicians and singers, exhibits both innovation and skill, offering not
so much a look at how the music actually was, but more an intuitive guess at how it might have been,
keeping the music first and history a close but well-heeled second. It can be frantic one moment and
somber the next, as each of these lengthy song suites develops organically around a song or a piece of
poetry--offering both early music and improvisational music aficionados something unique. Excellent
recording quality is augmented by well-documented notes on history and instrumental research. --Louis
