Like all of these modern musical composers, the album 1453 presents his vision of what would make an absolutely amazing original score for a movie which would likely be titled "1453, The Fall of Constantinople" (if such a movie is ever made). I certainly hope that this magnificent album and the compelling historical storyline will inspire Hollywood to do so!
The first track on the album is a short verbal recitation telling of how a solar eclipse in 1431 darkened the skies over Constantinople, foreshadowing the fate of this great Byzantine city, capitol of the Holy Roman Empire, which was to fall to the rising power in the east, the mighty Ottoman Empire. The first track sets the tone and historical background for the musical tour de force which which is to follow. In the 2nd track, entitled "Siege of 1453", the steadily increasing beat of drums, leads one to envision what it must have been like to hear the sound of the Ottoman military band drawing ever nearer as the vanguard of the approaching Ottoman army. This track literally gives me "goosebumps". The third track "Constantinople", is both beautifully melodic and broodingly tragic at the same time. The 5th track, entitled "New Life" is one of my favorites on the album. The violin solos are so hauntingly beautiful they literally bring tears to ones eyes. Track 7 , entitled "Building of the Rumeli Hisar (Fortress)" is also another of my favorites, and sure to be one of yours as well.
