The revised selection is also carefully geared towards the music represented on three CDs, all of which were recorded in consultation with the composer. introduced by Paul Hillier.

Peteris Vasks : Sorrow - Three Songs For Female Choir : SSAA : Songbook : 884088520021 : 49017959

Peteris Vasks : Sorrow - Three Songs For Female Choir

Peteris Vasks' strong attachment to his Latvian home country shows particularly in his choral music. Nature, customs and traditions as well as the idea of freedom are the central themes of the texts he sets to music, while carefully using modern techniques of choral singing as well. Alternating with traditional, even archaic singing, the music creates a multi-faceted, immediately effective sound image in the listener's mind. These six songs for female choir centre on the themes of man, nature and transience, and home in aphoristic brevity. Vasks wrote music on these folk poems which contains rewarding tasks for the choir and opens up a fascinating world of sound to the listener.

Songlist: The Sad Mother, Small, Warm Holiday, Sunmmer

Peteris Vasks : Carnival Song : SSSSAAAA : Songbook : 888680071714 : 49019703

Peteris Vasks : Carnival Song

Vasks compositions incorporate archaic, folklore elements from Latvian music and place them within a dynamic and challenging relationship with the language of contemporary music. The works are frequently given programmatic titles based on natural processes. Vasks' intentions are however not so much a purely poetic praise of nature or showy tone painting, but rather the pursuit of themes such as the complex interaction between man and nature and the beauty of life on the one hand but also the imminent ecological and moral destruction of the world which he expresses in musical language.

Peteris Vasks : Mother Sun : SSAATTBB : Songbook : 884088576585 : 49016749

Peteris Vasks : Mother Sun

Central to Vask's work are human beings and nature. The beauty of nature versus the threat of it, and the human role in it. His human and cultural image is therefore not very optimistic. However, in his work Vasks expresswes wonder and beauty. Especially in his early compositions. The choral work Mate Saule (Mother Sun) from 1975 is one such work. It seems nothing but an evocation of a sun with sparse melodies that break away from the sound as halos and sun breaking through the clouds. Meanwhile, this work is also a piece that is exemplary for the later choral works of Vasks. Although the piece is almost entirely diatonic, drop the instrumental notation for the votes and nice dissonant textures right on. These are things that Vasks in his later work refined and enriched.

Ai Dievini : SATB : Ethan Sperry : Traditional Latvian Folksong : Songbook : 00292526 : 888680930394

Ethan Sperry : Ai Dievini

The title means Oh, God, the Sun is High. It is a text contemplating death, which is perceived metaphorically as the setting of the sun. This world is considered temporary whereas the other world will be forever. Musically, it is a calm, meditative rendering, almost mystical. The Latvian modality permeates the song with an eloquent tension emerging from the pedal point moments against the primary theme.
