Download Harold Budd - The Pavilion of Dreams (1978)
The Pavilion of Dreams is the second album from composer Harold Budd.
“I resurfaced as an artist in 1972 with “Madrigals of the Rose Angel”, the first of what would be a cycle of works under the collective title The Pavilion of Dreams. Madrigals refused to accommodate or even acknowledge any issues in new music. The entire aesthetic was an existential prettiness; not the Platonic “to Kalon”, but simply pretty: mindless, shallow and utterly devastating. Female chorus, harp and percussion seemed like a beautiful start. Its first performance was at a Franciscan church in California conducted by Daniel Lentz.”
