Product Description: A lot of artists evoke the spirit of Tibet, but Nawang Khechog is actually a former Tibetan monk, who took off the robes and took up the flute to travel the world 20 years ago. His albums are usually slotted in the New Age and meditation genres, and certainly his packaging and imagery inspire that. Unfortunately, it overshadows a music that is perhaps deeper, or at least more artistically profound, than that. Tibetan Meditation Music scans less like a background for contemplation and more like a tone poem to the spirit. The opening track seems like an Asian refraction of "Amazing Grace," with Tsering Khechog singing over Nawang Khechog's flute. Khechog's music draws on folk and spiritual traditions but takes them further afield. Think Arvo Pärt on the Tibetan plateau with strings droning a minor-key refrain while Tibetan bells and chimes sound in the background and Khechog chants. I do wish Khechog had brought along just a touch of the drama and shifting moods heard on some of his earlier discs, like the Kitaro-produced Karuna. Tibetan Meditation Music is unvarying in its somber tone. Khechog's chants, which are intimately spoken, whispered more than sung, don't always work on a musical level. But his performances on wood flute are deep explorations into tone and melody. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews
A piece of calm from a meditation master
The calming chimes of ancient Tibet take you back to a time of simplicity, where there was clarity in simplicity. Just listening to the sounds of Tibetan wisdom transports you into another world, arguably a saner world - without traffic, machines, mechanisation. This simplicity is beautiful and magical at the same time. Highly recommended for people seeking quiet, or advanced meditators alike.

Lotus Guide review
Tibetan Meditation Music
By Nawang Khechog
Sounds True M11090 Nawang Khechog is one of Tibet's foremost composers and musicians. A former monk, he studied meditation with his holiness the Dalai Lama. His music means to inspire nonviolence, compassion, and spirituality. Nawang's music has been used in various documentaries and was part of the soundtrack for the movie Seven Years in Tibet. Like his many other CDs, Tibetan Meditation Music "has an exquisite sound that touches our souls in a very profound and peaceful way, helping us to experience inner stillness with the combination of Tibetan spiritual chants with his own masterful flute." This is a wonderful musical accompaniment for meditation, healing, yoga, t'ai chi--and just to relax.Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide, www.lotusguide.com

Wonderful!
My own feelings towards this CD is happiness....Its a CD I listen to anywhere. It soothes my mind, body and soul.......just what I need wonderful pieces.

I like the music but the chanting/whispering is annoying...
I wish this was just pure music and didn't have the chanting over it. While I chant these things myself, I do not buy a cd to hear someone chanting, I can do that myself. The music is so beautiful, why ruin it by interrupting it with chanting?
Hopefully one of his other albums does not have this chanting or any other spoken words over it.

Exquisite
It would be difficult to exaggerate the beauty and the specialness of this CD. For me, it is truly meditative in that I would find it difficult to carefully listen to this CD simply "as music" all the way through; rather, it takes me to an "inner place" of contemplation and relaxation where I forget I am listening to music. One special quality of this CD is that it is consistently meditative all the way through; there are no surprises; the mood is consistent throughout. I know massage therapists who love this CD for use in their work, and other people who enjoy just having this music playing in the background of their everyday lives. It's very special.
