Alex Saba's second album, Missa Universalis it's into the "World Fusion" genre; this is an instrumental suite intended to be performed at a Catholic Mass.
Bio / Background
"Alex Saba is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. His works mix different styles, but always instrumental, no words, straight to the heart." - Sandra Florencio (co-producer)
"Saba's second album, Missa Universalis, is a far superior release, though it's arguably less "Progressive" and more into the "World Music" genre.
This is a suite intended to be performed at a Catholic Mass.
The instruments are very varied in this work, and the performance is much tighter than in Angel's Dream (his first album).
Saba has all but abandoned the guitar for this album (except for one acoustic guitar track).
"Consecration" is almost oriental sounding with its wood flutes and gongs, but also uses tablas and tympani for percussion and tubular bells for harmonies.
Saba melds these cross-cultural sounds together perfectly into a very nice piece.
