Description:Like his Pulitzer-winning work the little match girl passion, David Lang's 'poor hymnal' tries to get to the core of what a religious experience can be. "What I love about hymnals," the composer writes in his liner notes to the CD, "is that they're a catalog of things a community of worshippers can agree on - a catalog that can be sung. And what the worshippers are singing about matters." 'poor hymnal' is a concert-length work written for the multiple GRAMMY Award-winning chamber choir The Crossing, conducted by Donald Nally. Lang constructed the text by stitching together lines, phrases and poignant utterances from sources as varied as the Old Testament, Mahatma Gandhi and Tolstoy - to name just a few. As Lang explains: "This piece is trying to say: The reason we are coming together is to remember how important we are to each other, and to remember how important it is that we take care of each other."
"Poor Hymnal" is a captivating CD release by the acclaimed artists Lang / Crossing, brought to you by Cantaloupe Music. This album explores the boundaries between contemporary classical and experimental music, weaving together haunting melodies with innovative soundscapes. The collaboration between David Lang?a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer known for his emotionally resonant works?and Crossing, an adventurous vocal ensemble celebrated for their precise and expressive performances, results in a deeply moving listening experience. Previous successes from Lang include "The Little Match Girl Passion," which won him international recognition, while Crossing has been lauded for its Grammy-nominated recordings and commitment to new choral music. Cantaloupe Music stands out as a pioneering label dedicated to promoting groundbreaking composers and performers in modern music, consistently delivering high-quality productions that challenge conventional genres.
