Description:

An Overwhelming World of Beautiful VoicesThis album features works by Pärt (Estonia), Vasks (Latvia), and Macmillan (from Scotland). Pärt's prayer music is cloaked in an air of sincerity and serenity, and the power of his voice creates an overwhelming beauty. Vasks' work is a moving work in which the chorus echoes as a beautiful backdrop behind the cello and violin playing the melody. MacMillan's "Miserere," like Pelto's work, was created while also incorporating ancient musical material, and the transition from sin, depicted in a minor key, to hope, sung in a major key, is also a very beautiful work.
