about

Tasked with writing the music for Rebuilding Notre Dame, one of the decade’s most ambitious documentaries on architecture, German composer Secret of Elements marvels at the images of the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Combining a nod to sacred music and technical modernity, his score accompanies the luminous rebirth of one of the most grandiose buildings in European history.

The work was re-arranged by label-mate Frieder Nagel, mastered by Rashad Becker, and sequenced from more than three hours of material accompanying three episodes of the series produced by Arte. The soundtrack feeds as much on the precious German electronic music workmanship as it does the grandiosity of a monument of Christian culture unique in Europe and constitutes a work worthy of a new album from the Rostock composer.

Through the beauty of its movements and diversity alone, Secret of Elements’ score is capable of conjuring up the deepest images of this disaster, tragedy, and cultural heartbreak. Visions of flames tearing through one of the world’s most iconic architectural masterpieces loop in slow motion as modern synthesis, sacred choral music, and magnificent organ work rise together toward the heavens.

Absolute monster of a gem from the anonymous godfather of ambient music. I try to stay on top of musical releases but missed this one, but it found me at just the right time. Murcof deserves his chance on a large scale soundtrack for a big budget film. Hopefully the Universe hears my prayer for this. Nathan Payne
