Guitarist Pat Metheny's exceptional compositional skills reached another plateau with the beautiful score for the film A MAP OF THE WORLD. Here, with a full orchestral accompaniment, Metheny explores the pastoral sound of the acoustic guitar and coaxes from it some of the most emotionally rich music he has ever composed. Those looking for the guitarist's signature modern Brazilian-flavored electric style will not find it here, nor are there any strains of Metheny's traditional jazz leanings as he fully develops a new side to his already plentiful musical gifts. Ranging from deeply moving solo lines with impressionistic shadings to sweeping pastoral jaunts that build to tremendous heights of grandeur, Metheny captures the spirit of the rural setting of the film, drawing on the sounds of his childhood. On its own, the music emphasizes the exceptional care with which Metheny undertakes his art, gently caressing the music from the instrument until it reaches its full potential.

map excellent-enjoyed throughly Submitted by sheypurple (marysville,ca.,usa) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
masterpiece beautiful piece of music that i cant get enough of listening to! Submitted by bqjc82 (chicago, il) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Map of The World sdtk maps Metheny's musical soul. This is simply an excellent collection of instrumental music composed, arranged and, at times, performed by Pat Metheny. Choosing to show us a simple, accessible side of himself through these beautifully orchestrated short pieces, Pat offers some of his best work yet. His solo acoustic guitar is very expressive and effective in communicating the mood of these 28 cuts supporting the film and inspired by it. I particularly like cut 20, Resolution, with a short string passage reminiscent of the major-minor chord movement in PMG's "Phase Dance." Very worthwhile listening for fans or those who will become fans of Pat Metheny. Submitted by a reviewer (Dallas, TX - USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
