A Baltic Anthology

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 works by Ešenvalds and Dubra, and a varied selection of Christmas music, some to standard Latin texts, some to Latvian poetry, others drawing both words and melody from the older pagan tradition of masked singers and dancers.
