Melodic symphonic progressive and classic space rock sometimes compared to the music of Pink Floyd, Terra Nocturne is the story of a journey through the emotions and transcendental experiences which transpire during the course of one particularly lucid evening. Lush and soulful, "Sacred Moon's Light" expresses the perceptions and spiritually restorative power of witnessing the rise of the full moon on a warm, sensual spring evening.

As dusk turns to night, "Terra Nocturne" pays homage to the majesty of the night sky and mystery of the darkness. In "Where Have You Gone", this blissful mood is shattered by the realization that a loved one is missing and may never return.

The overwhelming feeling of solitude is evoked in "The Crossing" as the deliverance of sleep begins to set in. "Let Go" explores of the pain of loss, as well as the liberation from the physical body at the moment of sleep or physical death. The soul leaves the body in "Open Door" for the spiritual lessons suggested in the song "American Dream".

An energetic and skillfully executed disc with influences ranging from electro to hip-hop to pop, rock, and beyond. LehtMoJoe's full length solo album "Spaghetti Western" pushes the boundaries of today's music with fresh sounds and remarkable ingenuity. Showcasing impressive range, it is sure to engage a wide variety of audiences. Guest spots by Anonymous and Anthony Sass.

"Spaghetti Western" remains a disc that smartly combines various rock, hip-hop and electronic elements into an impressively cohesive unit or, in simpler terms, a prepackaged dance party, ready made for rump shaking."

La Follia Itinerante. The itinerant madness. Der Fahrende Wahnsinn.

It is that moment in time and place when the soul catches a slow motion glimpse of itself traveling willy-nilly through the maelstrom of the great vortex. At once noble and base, it is coloured in a chromatic blue melancholy and dry red pathos. There too is the peace that comes with acceptance of one's fate... and the anguished impossibility of not struggling against this same fate... La Follia Itinerante holds up a mirror that we may see ourselves as we really are: beggars before God. And makes us laugh at our own pitiful and ludicrous condition.

A true Follia is unique at each playing. It exists for a moment and then vanishes. This one was caught on a warm and sunny afternoon in a garden house on the southern slopes of the Schwarzwald. It takes as inspiration the Follias of Nicholas Chédeville, Corelli, Vivaldi, Marais and the many other composers, known and unknown, who have added to our treasure store of Follias.

The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791, during the last year of the composer's life. The requiem was Mozart's last composition and is one of his most popular and respected works, although the question of how much of the music Mozart managed to complete before his death and how much was later composed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr or others is still debated.

The Requiem has a complex history, riddled with deception and manipulation of public opinion. The work was commissioned by Count Walsegg in July 1791 who wanted to pass off the work as his own, so the circumstances of the commission were kept secret. Upon Mozart's death, Constanze had the work completed by other composers, but to receive final payment, their assistance had to remain a secret. At the same time, Constanze wanted to present the work as having been written by Mozart to completion, so as to receive revenue from the work. When it became known that others besides Mozart had a hand in writing the Requiem, Constanze insisted that Mozart left explicit instructions for the work's completion.

With all of these levels of deceptions and secrets, it is inevitable that many myths would emerge with respect to the circumstances of the work's completion. One series of myths surrounding the Requiem involves the role Antonio Salieri played in the commissioning and completion of the Requiem and in Mozart's death generally. While the most recent retelling of this myth is Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus and the movie made from it, it is important to note that the source of misinformation was actually a 19th century play by Alexander Pushkin, Mozart and Salieri, which was turned into an opera by Rimsky-Korsakov and subsequently used as the framework for Amadeus.

The composer Adina Spire has often meshed avant-garde and traditional elements of the Gregorian chant, reflecting the multiple aesthetics she has explored during her career of sacred music composer and performer.

Sibiu Oratorium is an homage to the music of Arvo Pärt, the controversial painting of Heman Nitsch and the literature of Herta Müller. It alternates passages of serene baroque music with tintinnabulation choral elements and serial solo cello, piano and chamber orchestra elements.

The city of Sibiu in Romania commissioned this work in 2009 as commemoration of the 20 years anniversary of the Romanian Revolution. The work was censured in Romania and never performed in Adina's native country.
