  • Description

    The three world premiere choral recordings on this album represent the enduring commitment of Musica Viva NY's artistic director, Alejandro Hernandez-Valdez, to perform new works by living composers. Richard Einhorn's The Luminous Ground is a deeply reflective and spiritually engaging work, while Gilda Lyons' brilliantly written Momotombo is inspired by the spectacular volcanic landscape of Nicaragua. Joseph Turrin's Crimson Roses Once Again Be Fair is a moving cantata that marks the centenary of the First World War Armistice in November of 1918 - the piece is dedicated to those who bravely fought and died, forever enshrined in history.
