Lewis & Clarke - Dead and Gone
I’ve been deeply into folk music lately, but the soothing kind that calms everything inside of you. Rhapsody describes this kind of music as “Baroque Pop.” I’ve never heard of it before, so when I looked it up, on Wikipedia of course ;) it was described as “a style of pop music originated in the mid 1960s that brought elements of classical music into the writing and recording of rock ‘n’ roll songs. Much of the instrumentation of baroque pop is more akin to that of the Classical period, chronologically defined as the period of European music from 1750 to 1820 (after Baroque music and before Romantic music) and stylistically defined by balanced phrases, clarity and beauty, using similar instrumentation to modern orchestras.”
I really love how gentle and unalarming it sounds and I’ve been searching for similar sounding music lately. In case you’re wondering, my song of choice comes from Lewis & Clarke. According to their website: Lewis & Clarke is the nom de plume of Lou Rogai and collaborators. The moniker has been described as metaphor for journey on many levels; musical, spiritual, and physical … The most recent musical styling of Lewis & Clarke can be described as new-folk, avant chamber folk, or neo-baroque.
