ester.eeGramophone | Mnemosyne
Officium was a mellifluous melding of sensual sax improvisation and early choral music; Mnemosyne embraces a wider musical world and occasionally takes a harder musical line. /---/ It is a difficult disc to categorize. Should we call it a ‘concept’ album’? In a sense, yes. Or perhaps jazz improvisation? Yes, that as well.
GramophoneAll About Jazz | Jan Garbarek / The Hilliard Ensemble: Mnemosyne album review
Mnemosyne means memory in pre-Christian Greek, and the five musicians work with more than 2,000 years of Western music - sometimes whole pieces, sometimes just fragments scribbled in the margins of a psalter, or, this time, new pieces by Garbarek himself that demand this most ancient of styles reinvent itself as improvisation and jazz. Officium remains a stunning, breakthrough recording. For the jazz fan, Mnemosyne moves the magic up a notch. If you haven't had the experience yet, do yourself the favour soon.

However, at the purest of musical levels Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble again created something complex, exploratory and intelligently diffuse. But it is equally and endlessly rewarding when simply just drifting past, as a kind of intellectual ambience. (Graham Reid, 2012-02-12)

Garbarek and the Hilliard singers cover a wider scope of music this time out, drawing on repertoire ranging from “Delphic Paean” of Athenaeus, circa 127 B.C., a 16th-century Scottish “Remember Me My Dear” to a modern “Estonian Lullaby” and the Garbarek original “Loiterando.” Mesmerizing trance music, from ancient to the future.

... to a lullaby by the contemporary Estonian composer Veljo Tormis, with intervening contributions by Hildegard von Bingen, William Billings, and Thomas Tallis, Iroquois Indians, Basque and Peruvian folksongs, and many more far-flung choices. (Richard S. Ginell)

Mnemosyne is a sort of collaborative original composition that plays for one-and-three-quarter hours, and ECM's photographic presentation toys with air, earth and spirit much as Garbarek and the Hilliards do in musical terms.. (Rob Cowan, 1999-04-16)

On “Mnemosyne,” their recent collaboration, the origin of their songs extends back to the second century B.C. with a Greek hymn to Delphic gods and ranges through ancient, obscure music al traditions as diverse as Quechuan folk songs, Estonian lullabies, Iroquois dances and Christian chants.

The Japan TimesECM Reviews | Jan Garbarek/The Hilliard Ensemble: Mnemosyne (ECM New Series 1700/01)
While familiar territories abound—among them pieces by Tallis, Dufay, and Tormis—the addition of tenor and soprano saxophones renders them beautifully arcane. Even during those pieces in which the Hilliards sing alone, Garbarek’s presence is ever felt, hovering like a shadow in the corner of our vision. (Tyran Grillo, 2010-09-24)
