Baltic Songs for Upper Voices - Volume 2

Description

Baltic choral music has undergone a massive resurgence in recent years. Sacred choral music, in particular, has flourished since the end of the Soviet era, with composers such as Eriks Ešenvalds (1977) and Rihards Dubra (1964) achieving international recognition. This collection of choral music brings together a number of pieces, including works by Ešenvalds and Dubra, and a varied selection of Latvian poetry. It covers a range of difficulty, from simple pieces for young singers to more challenging works for adult choirs.
