Description:

A collection of religious choral works by Carlson's, one of the leading contemporary Latvian composers. The title "Oremus" was composed for the Latvian Radio Choir in 2018, and with the choir's high ability and musicality in mind, Carlson's has written a piece with a strong message, colored by complex harmonies. The work premiered to great acclaim at the Lincoln Center White Light Festival. Adoratio" is a symphony for chorus and orchestra that takes more than 30 minutes to perform. The whole is a dramatic work in four parts, in which the orchestra and chorus engage in a serious battle. Le lagrime dell'anima...," based on a short poem by the composer himself, is a beautiful work in which the melody, which was born while gazing at the seven stars in the beautiful dusk, unfolds in various ways. Ora pro nobis," written for conductor Clava, is a powerful medieval poem of praise to the Virgin Mary. Naxos Japan
