or the serious Brother Cadfael fan's collection to be complete, this Series Soundtrack is a must. The music, composed, arranged, and produced by Colin Towns (there are a couple of tracks that are not his compositions), is taken directly from the series and has all the color and flavor of a medieval town. From the opening theme, through gregorian chants, faire music, to the end theme, the music "IS" Brother Cadfael.
In fact, I personally enjoy it so much that I have a copy of the CD in my CD Alarm Clock, and every morning I am awakened by the Opening Chant of the Brother Cadfael series. I never tire of it, and often, now that I know it by heart, I can lie in bed, dozinig, and know exactly what time it is by the track that is playing. Thus, I know that I can either doze some more, or get up and get ready for work.
I promise you, that if you are a Cadfael addict like I am, you will not be disappointed in this one. It is not widely available, but you should be able to find it either on-line, or most probably, you local music dealer can order it for you. I got my copy several years ago from a dealer in England, but you might not have to go that far. Anyway, get yourself a copy, and enjoy the feel of Brother Cadfael wherever you are. You won't be sorry. The tracks of the album are listed below:
