Ancient Voices of Children Product Description
Thirty years later, George Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children is still a startling work. Like many of his compositions from this period, the music centers on the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, here excerpted prudently by Crumb to create a virtual song cycle about life, death, and the quest to reacquire the "ancient soul of a child."

Ancient Voices of Children Customer Reviews
| Average Rating: |  |
| A Masterpiece My fellow Texan has a point, even though I have the feeling that it is a little bit uneducated of a point. By a reviewer (Houston, TX) |
| Disappointing I love innovative, non-cliched music. I must say, though, I was disappointed by Voices of Children. It just sounds odd to me -- as if the focus were more on the conception than the musicality of the piece. By a reviewer (Austin, TX, USA) |
