You have never heard this piece before.

It’s Lament, part 1, by Lars Petter Hagen performed by Hans-Kristian Kjos Sørensen – The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir/Grete Pedersen  on BIS-2431 SACD, not yet released.

We thought it was so apt for present circumstances we got special permission from the label to share.

Contemplate.

    Closed my eyes, Norman, listened and filled every fiber of my soul with this sound. There is nothing more powerful than the human voice in choir, creating a sonic landscape that points directly into our breath. Thank you for sharing this.

    Starts out early Penderecki but Pärtly ends up Whitacre

  • John Borstlap says:

    Beautiful.

    It made me think of this work, which is even better:
