Iqembu likaGregory lazenza laziwa ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990. Abacula ngabodwana beqembu benza izingoma ezisuselwe esihlotsheni sezingoma zikaGregory. Izithombe zasesiteji zabaculi zidinga ukunakwa okukhulu. Abaculi bangena esiteji begqoke izindela. Iculo leqembu alihlobene nenkolo.
Ukwakhiwa kwe-Gregorian Collective
UFrank Peterson onethalente usemsuka wokudalwa kweqembu. Kusukela esemncane wayewuthanda umculo. Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, uFrank wathola umsebenzi esitolo esidayisa izinto zomculo ngokukhethekile. Yilapho aqopha khona idemo yakhe yokuqala.
Ngesimangaliso esithile, irekhodi lafika kubakhiqizi. Ngokushesha uPeterson wanikezwa ukusebenza eqenjini lomculi uSandra. Lesi kwakuyisigameko sokuqala esibucayi somculi osemusha esiteji.
UFranck wayengumngane noMichael Cretu (umyeni kaSandra nomdidiyeli). Wamkhombisa izingoma ezimbalwa zababhali. Umdidiyeli unikeze uPeterson isikhundla sokuba ngumbhali eqenjini likaSandra.
E-Ibiza, lapho uFrank noMichael basebenza khona ngasekupheleni kwawo-1980, babenombono okhaliphile - ukuhlanganisa izingoma zenkolo nezingoma zomdanso. Empeleni, le yindlela iqembu le-Enigma elivele ngayo. Kwakungomunye wamaphrojekthi aphumelela kakhulu ngasekupheleni kwawo-1980. Eqenjini, abalandeli babazi uFrank ngaphansi kwegama lokuqamba elithi F. Gregorian.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1990, uFrank washiya iqembu le-Enigma. Umculi wazikholelwa. Ngakho-ke, wanquma ukuthi unethalente elanele futhi wazuza ulwazi ukuze athuthukise iphrojekthi yakhe. UThomas Schwarz kanye nomdlali wekhibhodi u-Matthias Meisner basize u-Peterson ukuba afeze izinhlelo zakhe. Ukurekhodwa kwe-LP Sadisfaction kufakwe umculi wezwi u-Birgit Freud kanye nonkosikazi womculi uSusana Espellet.
Abagxeki bomculo baphawule ukuthi iqoqo lokuqala libonakale lithakasela. Kodwa, maye, akakwazanga ukuncintisana neqembu le-Enigma. Imidlalo emide yeqembu elisha ithengiswe kabi kakhulu. Mayelana nalokhu, uFrank uhlehlise "ukukhuthazwa" kweqembu futhi wathatha amanye amaphrojekthi athembisayo. UPeterson uqhubeke nokukhiqizela uSarah Brightman noPrincesa ama-albhamu, kwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wavula isitudiyo sokuqopha.
Ukuvuselela iqembu
Kuphela ngo-1998, umculi wanquma ukusebenzisa uhlelo lwakhe. Wabuyisela imisebenzi yeqembu likaGregory. Iqembu elihunyushwe kabusha lalihlanganisa: u-Jan-Erik Kors, u-Michael Soltau no-Carsten Heusmann.
Umqondo we-longplay yesikhathi esizayo kwakuwukukhetha amathrekhi abe phezulu enkathini yama-1960-1990s. Abaculi bahlele ukuphinda balungise amathrekhi ngomoya wezingoma zikaGregory, bawanikeze umsindo ongcono nonamandla. I-disc ihlanganisa izinguqulo zekhava zamahithi angafi amabhendi: Metallica, Eric Clapton, REM, I-Dire Straits nabanye.
Ukwakhiwa ngakunye okufakwe eqoqweni kube nezinguquko ezingalindelekile. Abaculi bakwazile ukuthatha uhlelo olusha nokwethulwa kwamaculo. Izingoma zithole "umbala" othokozisayo. Kumenywe abaculi abangaphezu kwe-10 bekhwaya yesonto ukuthi bazoqopha i-LP. Inani elibalulekile labaculi belilokhu lisendaweni yomculi ngesikhathi sonke seqembu.
Namuhla, abaculi abangu-9 banesibopho sokucula. Ngaphezu kwabaculi, uhlu luhlanganisa:
- u-Jan-Erik Kors;
- UCarsten Heusmann;
- U-Roland Peil;
- UHarry Reishman;
- Gunther Laudan.
I-Gregorian iyiqembu eliqhakazile nelikhumbulekayo lesikhathi sethu. Abalandeli bathanda umsebenzi wabaculi ngokusuka kwabo kanye nokuvela kwabo. Abakwesabi ukuzama. Naphezu kwalokhu, "isimo" seqembu asishintshile iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili.
Indlela yokudala nomculo weqembu likaGregory
Ngo-1998, ngokushesha ngemva kokuvuselelwa kweqembu, uFrank wahlanganisa entsha. Ngaso leso sikhathi, waqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yakhe yesibili yesitudiyo, i-Masters of Chant. Abafana basebenze ekwakhiweni kwe-LP entsha isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka. Bacubungula izinto ezikhethiwe endaweni yokuqopha i-Nemo Studios e-Hamburg.
U-Peterson wesaba ukuthi ukukhala kwe-studio yengoma kaGregory kuzobhubhisa yonke imilingo. Ekanye nabahlabeleli, uFrank waya e-English Cathedral. Lapho, amalungu eqembu enza ukwaziswa okulungiselelwe.
Ukukhiqizwa kanye nokucutshungulwa okwengeziwe kwediski kwakusingathwa nguFrank. Kakade ngo-1999, abathandi bomculo bajabulela amathrekhi anamandla e-albhamu yesibili yesitudiyo. Amaparele ecwecwe bekungamaculo athi: Nothing Else Matters, Losing My Religion kanye nethi Lapho Indoda Ithanda Owesifazane.
I-albhamu yaqinisekiswa nge-platinum emazweni amaningana. I-LP ithengise kahle. Impumelelo enjalo igqugquzele abaculi ukuthi bahlele uhambo olukhulu lokuhlonipha i-albhamu ekhishiwe. Abaculi bazama izingubo ze-monastic futhi baqala ukunqoba umhlaba.
Ukudlala kweqembu akwenzekanga ezindaweni ezijwayelekile zekhonsathi, kodwa ezakhiweni zamathempeli asendulo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaculi bacule bukhoma kuphela, okuqinisa umbono weqembu.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, ibhendi yaqopha amavidyo kliphu angu-10 ahlaba umxhwele. Umsebenzi wakhululwa ngeDVD. Iqoqo lingatholakala ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi Masters of Chantin Santiagode Compostela.
Ngemva kohambo olunzima, abaculi basebenze esitudiyo sokuqopha ukuze balungisele abalandeli i-rock ballad. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kungazelelwe "abalandeli", amalungu eqembu akhiphe eyodwa yombhali. Sikhuluma ngengoma ethi Moment of Peace.
Umculo ngeminyaka yawo-2000
Ngo-2001, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-Masters of Chant. isahluko II. I-Longplay ihole inani elibalulekile lezinguqulo zekhava zamabhendi e-rock adumile. Iqoqo lalihlanganisa ithrekhi yebhonasi, evule izwi likaSarah Brightman othakazelisayo. Sikhuluma ngengoma ethi Voyage, Voyage by Desireless.
I-LP entsha nayo yamukelwe ngemfudumalo abalandeli nabagxeki bomculo. Iziqeshana zashuthelwa amanye amathrekhi, afakwa eqoqweni lama-DVD. Abaculi bahambe bayovakasha, lapho bavakashela amadolobha angaphezu kuka-60. Ithimba lisadlala ezindaweni zamathempeli nezakhiwo zakudala.
Ngemva konyaka, iqembu Gregorian wanika "abalandeli" elinye iqoqo. Sikhuluma nge-LP Masters Of Chant. Isahluko III. Abaculi baguqule indalo engapheli kaSting, Elton John nabanye abaculi abadumile. Amalungu ethimba ethule ingoma ethi Ngijoyine yeqembu le-HIM ngendlela yengoma yokudansa. Ngaphambilini, abaculi bebengasebenzi kulolu hlobo lomculo.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, iqembu lethule ama-LP amasha njalo ngonyaka. Abaculi bethula umbono wabo wamathrekhi ahlukahlukene nezinhlobo, ngokulandelana - kusukela kumaculo asendulo kuya kumathrekhi esimanje aphezulu.
Cishe awekho ama-albhamu ahlulekile ku-discography yeqembu. Phakathi neminyaka yomsebenzi wobuciko, abaculi bathengise amaqoqo angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-15. Indawo yekhonsathi yeqembu likaGregory yahlanganisa amazwe angama-30 omhlaba. Amakhonsathi eqembu awumbukiso wangempela ogqamile nokhumbulekayo. Izibukeli ezihambela imibukiso yezithombe zihlala zicula kanye nazo. Ngezikhathi ezithile, abaculi bayayeka ukucula futhi bajabulele ukudlala bukhoma "kwabalandeli" babo ezithamelini.
Amaqiniso anentshisekelo ngeqembu
- Abaculi abayisebenzisi iphonogram.
- Ilungu elisungula uFrank Peterson waqala ukudlala upiyano eneminyaka engu-4.
- UGregorian uthathwa njengeqembu lomsuka waseJalimane, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ubuswa amazwi "esiNgisi".
- I-repertoire yaleli qembu ihlanganisa izinombolo ezihlukene kusukela kukhisimusi kanye nezingoma zakudala ukuya kwezingoma ze-rock.
- Iningi le-repertoire yeqembu lenziwe ngezinguqulo zekhava.
I-Gregorian Collective okwamanje
Ithimba liyaqhubeka nokuvakasha futhi ligcwalise i-discography ngamarekhodi. Ngo-2017, abaculi bethule i-LP Holy Chants "ephelele", ngokusho kwabalandeli.
Ngo-2019, kwaziwa ukuthi umphathi weqembu ubesebenza ku-LP entsha esitudiyo sokuqopha saseHamburg. Umculi akazange amemezele usuku nesihloko seqoqo kusenesikhathi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, amalungu ebhendi amemezele uhambo olukhulu, oluqale endaweni ye-Historische Stadthalle edolobheni laseJalimane iWuppertal. Abalandeli bangalandela izindaba zeqembu abalithandayo ekhasini elisemthethweni le-Facebook.
