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.
