Definitively setting the titles' music of Swiadectwo Vangelis has fortunately provided a new mix and a compilation (together with Robert Janson's score). We can purchase the CD from several polish webstores, and I got mine a few days ago. In the case of the first three tracks which open the CD, we can listen to the inimitable, choral/sinth-phonic style of the composer – a style with which he has made a name for himself. Sanctus is clearly based on an excerpt from Alexander OST, but the tune is proposed verbatim in a context which takes on the character of ample filling in. The new passages that are inserted are scored for the chorus, to add lyricism, dramatic function. The track seems to be realised with the same criteria as seen in Hymn (choral version): a gentle opening which Vangelis brings to a bombastic end. The rest of the music is an impressive improvisation at the Direct Machine (In Aeternitatem). The item shows the composer's ability in creating polyvocal music using a sampled choir and all the colours of a sampled orchestra! The last movement (Humanum Est) is the peaceful epilogue of the part, resembling a liturgical requiem.Tracklist
