Ēriks Ešenvalds

The Heavens' Flock

With "The Heavens' Flock", acclaimed Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds transports choirs and audiences alike into a mesmerizing, luminously resonant sphere. Composed for unaccompanied mixed choir (SATB), this work was commissioned by Ethan Sperry and the celebrated Portland State Chamber Choir. Setting evocative English verses by American poet Paulann Petersen, Ešenvalds masterfully weaves delicate lyricism together with warm harmonies, ethereal soundscapes, and profound emotional depth. Published by Musica Baltica, this choral score is an outstanding gem of contemporary choral literature that captivates through its expressive beauty and sonic elegance. A true highlight for sophisticated concert programmes and an unforgettable experience for both singers and listeners.
