Album Description

Hailed by Stanley Kubrick as "Absolutely, one of the great films", Lindsay Anderson's stylish, surrealistic, uncompromising and confrontational film IF... encapsulated the revolutionary atmosphere of the sixties; and four decades on has lost none of it's power to astonish and provoke. Malcolm McDowell (of whom IF... made a star), suggested the bewitching, other-worldly music of 'Sanctus' from the "Missa Luba", a version of the Latin Mass based on traditional Congolese songs, which establishes the film's very particular atmosphere. IF... captured the public's imagination beyond anyones expectation and the memorable 'Sanctus' subsequently became a chart hit ("I couldn¹t believe it" recalled McDowell). Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin, a choir, with percussion section, consisting of about 45 boys from 9 to 14 years old, and 15 teachers were formed by Father Haazen. The "Missa Luba" is pure Congolese. It is completely void of any modern, western musical influences. None of it is written. Certain rhythms, harmonies and embellishments are spontaneous improvisations.

By The Singer
I first heard the "Sanctus" in the movie "IF" and after that I spent a very long time finding the MISSA LUBA lp. I have heard it countless times and the lp by now is rather worn. But evenso the voices of Les Troubadours ring out with the same intense simplicity as way back when first I heard them. Listen to them and enjoy the wonderful mixture of hymns in Latin and the distinct African flavour.
