Requiem for a Pink Moon
Elizabethan Tribute to Nick Drake (1948-74)
harmonia mundi HMC 902111
A tribute to one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the past 50 years, a requiem to Nick Drake (1948-74), composed by Joel Frederiksen. Drake´s songs speak to the human condition with titles such as “Which will you go for?”, or “Time has told me”. Under fine melodic lines is a rhythmically driving guitar part which Frederiksen has orchestrated for Renaissance instruments. Parts of the plainsong Requiem Mass interweave with Drake’s finely crafted songs and songs of masters from the Renaissance, to form one piece in remembrance of this modern day “Thomas Campion”.
