Is 'Novus Magnificat: Through the Stargate' by Constance Demby the most heavenly piece of Space Music ever?

I have other albums of Demby's and I have explored recommended Space Music albums of other artists such as Kevin Braheny's 'Galaxies', but none of them can match the majesty and glory of 'Novus Magnificat'.

Largely improvised at the time of recording, Part One builds in waves, you feel the whole Sonic Space Bass* burst through your chest and the crescendo that eventually explodes, can reduce a grown man to tears time and again. Listen through the headphones and close your eyes - it's an awesome experience.

Part Two is part Vivaldi / part Bach but all Demby; an incredible achievement considering this album is 22 years old now and has never been bettered.

*The Sonic Space Bass is an instrument unique to Demby - a 10 foot wide sheet of polished stainless steel with attached metal rods, harmonically tuned to a span of 5 octaves. She happened upon this when she was a Sculptor; she was using a piece of sheet metal and as it warped and wobbled she was taken by the wonderful sounds it made! She plays the bespoke beast of an instrument with 2 Cello bows.

Oh, Constance Demby is a total babe. This woman must have fallen from heaven. She is so totally inspired. Novus Magnificat is grand, but the most amazing work of hers, imho, is Aeterna. If you have NOT heard Aeterna, and you like neoclassical new age type music, you really must hear it.

As for space music in general, Jonn Serrie is another must-have. Planetary Chronicles I and II are just mind-blowing tours of space. Then, if you want to go into some darker ambient, you should check out Gustaf Hildebrand.

Hi drg371950


When calling Constance Demby 'a babe,' then you are referring to the woman's voice, right?

Thanks for the review!

Emusic has this and with only two tracks (they list it as an EP) I can get it for about 50 cents!
I have added it to my "saved for later" list and will download when my account is replenished.

Thanks again - Mark
