Winter Patterns (2006)

This holiday-themed CD takes its name from the evocative choral landscape of Estonian composer Veljo Tormis’s Talvemustrid (Winter Patterns). Other highlights include Daniel Pinkham’s lively and popular Christmas Cantata, Hildegard von Bingen’s meditative “O Vivens Fons,” remarkable settings by Joan Szymko and Rebecca Clarke of the Ave Maria text, the post-minimalist “Agnus Dei” by Charles Griffin, and Francis Poulenc’s stunning “Litanies à la Vierge Noire.” Also featured is the fiery and intense “Suite” de Lorca by modern Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara. Selections from William Mathias’s joyous Salvator Mundi, A Carol Sequence and a multilingual arrangement of the immortal “Silent Night” close the CD on the perfect seasonal note. (LDR-1006)
