Incantation - Tim Wheater

“Wheater’s flute playing is as sumptuous and flowing as ever. Rich chant work is delivered by an array of top world artists. Wheater in England. Simone Bonny in New Zealand. Awahoshi Kaven in Australia, and Howard Badhand in the States. Aoife N’Fhearraigh, Maureen Taylor, and The Aquae Sulis Angels add more world-class vocals to the production. Keyboards, cello, Celtic harp, electric banjo, soprano sax, and drums merge to swell a symphonic ride that transports the listener to that point of silence within.” — Napra Review

“Pure joy…ecstasy by the earful. Time Wheater is a magician whose magic wand is a flute” — Neale Donald Walsch, author ofConversations with God.

“Tim Wheater’s music travels to the farthest shores of the soul. Incantation brings back transformation, inspiration and healing” — Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way.

Review
I really enjoyed flautist Tim Wheater's earlier collaborations with pianist Michael Hoppe ("The Yearning" and "The Dreamer"), but "Incantation" gives a much clearer view of Wheater's virtuosity on flute as well as his mastery of composition. Cinematic in scope and symphonic in scale, this is a very emotionally rich and fulfilling CD. Many ethnic influences are drawn from, and musical samples were recorded on location in New Zealand, New Mexico, and Australia. The very unusual instrumentation includes flute, cello, Celtic harp, electric banjo, digeridoo, crystal bowls, etc. Several of the tracks include vocals in English, Gaelic, and Latin, but the voices are mostly used as additional instruments. Several of the tracks ("En Trance", "Uluru", "Benedictus", and "Circle's Edge") are very heavy on the rhythm and percussion, giving them a tribal, somewhat ritualistic feel. "Pacificus" is much more ambient. "Seventh Ray", "Dark Falls the Night", "Love Is Here", and "Whistler's Lament" are tender and gentle to the core. There is an obvious variety of approaches on this CD, but a mood of darkly spiritual mystery (does that make sense?) is sustained throughout. Spiritual, but still melodic and accessible, and the various rhythms are infectious. I really enjoyed "Incantation" the many times I listened to it, and heard new subtleties each time. Hear, hear!
