“Chanson à La Lune“ by Robert McGinty

“Chanson à La Lune” by Robert McGinty is a collection of classical songs composed by McGinty, a talented musician from Manchester, England. Inspired by the energy of Spanish guitar solos and the works of composers like John Williams (who has composed some of the most iconic scores in cinema history), McGinty works to cement himself as a composer to be remembered. With these compelling arrangements and masterful melodies, it would not be surprising if he joins the greats. Lovely pianos and cinematic strings are the highlights of McGinty’s arrangements, but every element works effortlessly together to carry you through this body of work.

The album opens with the song “The Awakening,” which is aptly named, as it wakes you up to McGinty’s style with bright and lilting strings. Classical orchestral textures dance across the song, with some providing moving melodies and others providing a steady, pulsing beat. Much of the beginning of the track is bouncing and joyful before shifting into a space where the energy pulls back and becomes more thoughtful. Then, the arrangement slowly builds back up and seamlessly brings you to the end of the track.

The title track, “Chanson à  La Lune,” is another standout on the album. The Spanish guitar begins the song with meandering melodies that build anticipation. The energy shifts slightly as the track goes on, offering quick riffs and slow strums to craft a dynamic journey. This collection of originals keeps the heart of classical music while weaving in creative elements and McGinty’s own impressive style.
