Chords & Notes


Da Vinci Vox - The Hidden Message

Various/EMI

If the gripping volume has sold over 40 million copies in 44 languages, the film based on the novel that opens worldwide on May 17 is touted as one of the blockbusters of the year. The flick is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks in the lead.

Label one, an EMI Music France label, has been working on a special project to coincide with the release. The project, a brainchild of French producer Serge Mazčres, features collaborations with well-known international artistes. Find here secular Gregorian chants meet acoustic and electric notes.

The CD also contains photographs of highly symbolic locations usually reserved exclusively to members of the Royal Arch, as well as a coded message unveiling the great secret of Opus Dei. As for the album, all you have to do is read between the lines and the notes.

The Da Vinci Coda - Music of The Renaissance

Various/EMI

Have you read the Dan Brown thriller? Now make way for its celluloid version. But before that, make way for some music inspired by the opus, a compilation of music composed in Da Vinci's time. Find here an array of composers — British countertenor, singer of Baroque music Michael Chance, Andrew Parrott — musical scholar and conductor of the Taverner Consort, Choir and Players, Conter tenor Charles Brett and more.
