Product Detail
INTRODUCTION - Since its founding in 1994, a central element of Kairos mission has been to perform and promote choral music by composers living and working in the Hudson Valley region of New York State, including both nationally-recognized figures and lesser-known members of the regional musical community. Our programming has always been enriched by the interplay between landmarks of the choral repertoire and new works (often performed in collaboration with the composers), and this recording is evidence of that fruitful balance.The Hudson Valley, home to such varied interpreters of the American experience as Washington Irving, Frederick Church and Bob Dylan, can also claim its share of prominent artists in the field of choral music. Aaron Copland composed many of his distinctively American works at his studios in Peekskill and Cortlandt Manor, and the versatile composer and musical satirist Peter Schickele maintains a studio in Woodstock. In addition, the much-honored George Tsontakis is a faculty member at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, and John B Hedges, one of the most promising composers of the younger generation, is not only an Ulster County resident but also a performing member of Kairos.
Among the first pieces by regional composers that we performed were two contrasting settings of texts from the Song of Songs, James Fitzwilliam s rich, lush A Rose of Sharon; and Panaiotis s spare, pointillistic Arise, my love, my fair one. Our first commissions included Craig Fryer s Missa Brevis and Shirley Hoffman Warren s Elixirs, excerpts from both of which appear on this recording. Craig Fryer s The time draws near and his haunting arrangement of the Coventry Carol were composed for the annual Lessons and Carols service at our home base, Holy Cross Monastery in West Park, New York. In April 2012 our performance of Jonathan Russell s Rain has fallen; reignited the composer s interest in the poetry of James Joyce, and in short order he produced O cool is the valley now, which makes its first appearance on this recording. Peter Sipple s Three Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins, composed for Kairos in 2011-12, capture the poet s spiritual depth and quirky wordplay. Three short settings of my own, based upon poems by Walt Whitman and Edwin Arlington Robinson, round out the collection. [Edward Lundergan, Artistic Director]
