音乐家简介：Era，英文原意为“时代、世纪”，我自己译名为“创世纪”，是一个风格与Gregorian（格林高利合唱团）接近的音乐团体，其灵魂人物是法国音乐家Eric Levi。关于Eric Levi，我们所知的确实不多，甚至也只在Era的作品中见过他的名字。而且他也不属于高产型的音乐家。Era至今为止仅发行过3张专辑，分别是1998年的《Era》、2001年的《EraⅡ》以及2003年刚刚发行的《The Mass》。发行数量并不多，但都是颇受欢迎的作品。Era系列几张作品获得的成功反响，为他与日俱增的名气奠定了优厚的基础。如果说Gregorian是在Enigma第一张专辑的音乐风格基础上强化格林高利圣歌和宗教元素而发展出来的，那么同样也可以说Era是借鉴与继承了Enigma、Deep Forest、Gregorian等名家的成功元素并加以进化创新而生的。总体来看，Era与Gregorian两者的音乐类型都是圣歌与现代器乐的融合，甚至乍听起来，还颇为相似。不过学习并非罪，刻板模仿才是可耻的，毕竟不是每个人都能如Enigma那样能开一派之先河的。如前所说，Era本来就是对前人成功经验的继承和发展，关键在于比以前是否有所突破和变化。而经过市场考验的结果是上，Era成功了。比起Gregorian全男班的阵容（Sarah Brightman的献声毕竟是少数），Era无论在和声还是领唱上，都加重了女声的成分，因而整体风格都显得更柔和、更温暖。我觉得Gregorian的歌声像高居圣坛之上的肃穆之歌，多少有点儿“可远观而不可亵玩焉”；而Era的则更人性化，像是就在我们身边的平民歌声。这里并无任何褒贬之分，纯粹只是我个人感觉上的不同罢了。而且由于女声的加重，Era的声部明显比Gregorian来得更丰富，而且女声领唱的戏分更重了。此外，Gregorian很注重乐曲的整体氛围的营造，而Era的曲子旋律性更强，很易上口，感觉上更流行化一些吧。这也许正是Era成功的秘诀之一。

优美旋律，感人的歌词，当耳边响起这首《Don't you forget》是否也会勾起你心底深处已渐渐淡忘的那份儿时的记忆？稚纯清澈的童声对白，天真无邪却意味深远，像一滴晨露，滋润了日渐枯竭的心；略显沧桑，天籁般的女声，空灵飘缈，轻声吟唱仿佛是在诉说着深埋于心中的往事。。。。。
