Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog is the fifth album from Ghost Train Orchestra, this time in collaboration with the Kronos Quartet. The album features brilliant new re-imaginings of the music of Louis Hardin aka Moondog, the blind composer who lived on the streets of Manhattan and became a fixture on 6th Avenue, dressed in striking Viking attire while selling his records and reciting poetry. His beautiful and haunting madrigals, songs, and symphoniques inspired the minimalists Philip Glass and Steve Reich, who called Moondog “the godfather of minimalism.” Featuring a diverse cast of special guests, Songs and Symphoniques showcases the work of five arrangers from Ghost Train Orchestra revisiting Moondog’s vital and uplifting music for a new generation.
