Composer ZOLTON KODALY (1882-1967) was a true music
innovator with a fascinating life. A collaborator with Bela Bartok, Kodály visited the remote villages of Hungary to collect thousands of folk songs; this genre strongly influenced his later works. He wrote Missa Brevis while hiding in the basement of a Budapest convent during World War II. One listener describes it as “a thoroughly beautiful, almost otherworldly work, profound and mysterious, soaring and almost shimmering in its wonderful, always imaginative textures.”
The more contemporary Psalmfest is also full of deep
emotion and range. “The Lord is my Shepherd” is a beautiful and well-known piece in this body of work. British-born JOHN RUTTER has been described as “the world’s greatest living composer and conductor of choral music.” His works include Christmas carols, anthems, and more extended pieces such as Psalmfest. Rutter describes himself as “not particularly a religious man, yet still deeply spiritual and inspired by the spirituality of sacred verses and prayers.”
