From Corigliano, “This a capella choral work, composed in 1971, is a setting of Richard Wilbur’s translation of Baudelaire’s L’Invitation au Voyage. Wilbur’s poignant setting pictures a world of obsessive imagination — a drugged vision of heaven full of sensual imagery. The music echoes the quality of the repeated refrain found in this lush translation: ‘There, there is nothing else but grace and measure, richness, quietness and pleasure.’”

Ukrainian composer Dmitry Bortniansky’s Blaho yest’ ispoviedatisia Hospodevi (“It is Good to Give Thanks to the Lord”) is a serene and reverent piece of sacred choral music. As a leading composer of the Russian Orthodox tradition, Bortniansky’s work reflects the rich liturgical heritage of the church. This choral concerto, written in Church Slavonic, captures the essence of Psalm 92, which speaks of gratitude and praise for God’s steadfast love and faithfulness.
