INNER VOICES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best New Age Album. The best instrumental albums have the power to engender a kind of bestilling, ablutionary effect. This collection of sweeping tapestries from Native American flautist R. Carlos Nakai is one such collection. And though "haunting" may seem a somewhat threadbare bit of musical parlance, no other word resonates with as much truth when describing Nakai's flute tone. The compositions, which marry themes played on the wooden Native American flute to the lush backing of a full orchestra, are interpretations of melodies that Nakai has made familiar in past recordings. The title cut and "Daybreak Vision" are especially beautiful arrangements, as the later works a transportive spell of a sort that befits its title. The presence of the orchestra brings about varying--but consistently pleasing--effects when paired with the flute melodies. "Catfish Muse" works a gentle call-and-response theme between flute and strings, while "Winter Solistice" is given a Tchaikovsky-like lilt.

With Inner Voices, R. Carlos Nakai revisits some familiar ground with new renditions of previously recorded material. Here the Native American flautist-composer's deeply resonant tones are countered and buoyed by Billy Williams's gently majestic arrangements consisting of violin, viola, cello, and bass. The title cut comes from 1998's Mythic Dreamer yet here takes on a more classic feel. The orchestra employs restrained and thoughtful strings, which in turn echo the melody line, play opposite Nakai for a grounded effect, and embolden the composition with gorgeously understated flourishes such as a low cello rumble or a slightly dissonant violin fill. On other standouts such as "12/20/82 Song" and "Winter Solstice," both on Changes, the artist's debut recording, Nakai's cedar flute beckons a return to balance, growth, and healing. The traditional hymn "Amazing Grace," having earlier appeared on Emergence, here becomes an aural blessing, as Williams's sweeping arrangements recall America's great Western plains and Nakai's melody floats above as an eagle on strong wind. --Paige La Grone
