Song of the music its characteristic roar mixture folk, blues, soul, jazz, gospel, and Celtic influencesorrison Ulster Scots is regarded by historians as a great rock singers the most unusual and influential in the history of rock and roll. The critic Greil Marcus has gone so far as to say that "no white man sings like Van Morrison." As Morrison began to 40 years of live album Astral Weeks in 2008, there were comparisons with the young voice began 1968.is voice described as "more hard and soft, the argument and complaining. Forty years later, the difference in his vocal range and power were visible, but commentators favorable reviews and comments: "The voice of Morrison has been extended to cover its framework, deeper, stronger voice roar of the blue-eyed soul of his youth more flexible in diction, but it is nonetheless impressive powerful. "Morrison also spoke about the evolution of his approach to song:" The current approach is lower diaphragm to sing! [] I have not lost my voice. Before, I was singing at the top of the throat which tends to destroy the vocal folds over time. Song of the decline in the stomach helps my resonance go too far. I can stand four feet from a microphone and you hear very resonantely. "Song and lyrics Morrison wrote hundreds of songs during his career with a recurring theme that reflects a nostalgic longing for the carefree days of his childhood in Belfast. Some of the titles of songs from familiar places in their infancy, such as: "Cyprus Avenue" (a nearby street), "Orangefield" (school children attended), "The Hyndford Street" (where born.) As often found in Morrison's best songs love is a mix of the sacred and the profane, as evidenced by "Into the Mystic" and "as quiet. "From his 1979 album, the music and the song" And the healing has begun ", a frequent words and the music was based on his belief in the healing power of music combined with a mystical form of Christianity. This issue became one of the dominant qualities of his work. His words show an influence visionary poets William Blake and WB Yeats and others, like Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. Brian Hinton's biographer believes that "like any great poet Seamus Heaney Blake, who takes the words to their origins in magic … In fact, Morrison returns to his roots as the first epic poems of Homer or of Old English and Beowulf or Psalms or the folk song in all these words and music combine to form a new reality. "Another biographer John Collis believes that phrases like Morrison jazz vocal opposition and repeated their texts to consider poetry Collis said: "It is more likely to repeat a sentence like a mantra, or explosion the seat. Words can often be mundane, and therefore can hardly be poetry. "Morrison described his method in writing stating that:" I I write from a different place. I did not even know his name, or if you have a name. He and I sculpt, but there are a lot of hard work to make the sculpture. "Performance" style of Van Morrison is interested, obsessed with how much musical or verbal information that can be compressed into a small space, and, almost, Conversely, to what extent can spread from one note a word, sound or image. To capture a moment, be it a caress or a contraction. He repeats certain phrases to extremes no one seems ridiculous, because it is waiting for a vision to implement, trying as unobtrusively as possible to over … It is the great quest, fueled by the belief that through these musical and mental processes illumination is attainable. Or perhaps at least a look. Lester Bangs, Greil Marcus argues review that given the truly distinctive scale and complexity of the work of Morrison, it is almost impossible to cast his work among the Other "Morrison is a singer who can compare with any other in the history of rock & roll, a singer who could not be jammed, fired, or fitted into account the expectations of everyone. "Or the words Jay Cocks, "It extends only to talk. The only major rock figuresnd even in this society, is one of greatestorrison is strongly active. In addition, exclusively. Although freely across borders music. and B, Celtic melodies, jazz, rock rave-ups, hymns, blues and dirty you can always find the very strange place: on his own wavelength. "His signature style became transcendental full expression in 1968 with his classic Astral Weeks. This form musical art was based on the stream of consciousness and emotional song vocalize words that have no basis in the normal structure or symmetry. Their performances depend on the construction spontaneous dynamic between him and his group, which controlled throughout the entire hand gestures, sometimes improvised solo signal of a member selected band. The music and singing to build a hypnotic trance that relies on creativity at the time. He believes in the art of jazz improvisation never sing a song the same way two Sometimes, with the exception of the single refund of Astral Weeks songs live, not a concert of a list drawn up preconceived ideas. Morrison said he would rather drive out in small spaces or symphony halls known for its good acoustics. The prohibition against achoholic drinks, which made headlines in entertainment in 2008, was a try to avoid disruptive and distracting movements of members of the public to leave their seats during performances. In an interview in 2009, Morrison said: "I did not consciously the listener anywhere. In any case, I try to take me there in my music. If the listener catches this wavelength I say or sing, or anywhere regardless of the line means to them, so I guess as a writer was able to work days. "Van Morrison's music has spanned Gender many genres, from its inception as a blues and R & B singer in Belfast. Over the years, recorded songs from a list of various types to draw from many influences and interests. As the blues and R & B, his compositions and covers moved between pop, jazz, rock, folk, country, gospel, folk and traditional Irish, big band, skiffle, rock and roll, new age, conventional discourse, and sometimes ("Coney Island") and instruments. Morrison is defined as a soul singer. Some music Morrison has been classified in a genre the same and calls it "Celtic soul" or what his biographer Brian Hinton calls a new alchemy called "Caledonia soul." Another biographer, Ritchie Yorke Town Morrison believes he has "the spirit of New Caledonia in his soul and his music reflects that." According to Yorke, Morrison said he discovered "a certain quality of mind" when he visited Scotland (his ancestors were from Belfast Ulster Scots descent) and Morrison said he believes there is a relationship between soul music and New Caledonia. Yorke said that Morrison was "discovered several years later began writing songs that some of his songs lend themselves to a single modal scale (no seventh), which is obviously the same scale as that used by the pipers and Scottish and Irish folk music old. "Caledonia The name "Caledonia" has played an important role in the life and career of Morrison. Ritchie Yorke's biographer had already reported in 1975 that Morrison has Caledonia referred to many times in his career that he "seems to be obsessed by the word." In his biography of 2009, Erik Hage said, "seemed Morrison deeply interested in his father's Scottish roots early in his career, and later the old area of England, hence the repeated use of the word Caledonia (An ancient Roman name for Scotland and northern England). "Besides being the middle name of his daughter, is the first name of his production studio, publishing house, two support groups, and also recorded a cover of the song, "Caldonia" (written under the name "Caledonia") in 1974. Morrison uses "Caledonia" in what has been called the last time Van Morrison in the song, "Listen To The Lion" with the words: "And we sail and sail, to Caledonia." Until 2008, Morrison uses "Caledonia" as a mantra in the live performance of the song "Astral Weeks", recorded in two Hollywood Bowl concerts.
