- This is the first of twelve volumes in an Anthology of a cappella choral music (mixed, men`s voices, women`s voices) written by Latvian composers between 1873 and the year 2000. The originality and vigor of choral traditions in this Baltic country which produced a great number of remarkable composers and interpreters is well known. Until now, however, it has not been easy to obtain the best and most important recordings and scores of this beautiful tradition. A series of 12 compact discs, recorded by the Riga Chamber Choir AVE SOL, is being issued in conjunction with these 12 volumes of choral music, both under the same name, Anthology of Latvian Choral Music. Each CD contains a selection of songs from the corresponding volume.
In each volume of Anthologies you will find: introduction, commentary, choral music scores, list of Latvian sounds In Phonetic Transcription, short biographical overview and photos of composers, English translations of all songs. The corresponding CD by choir Ave Sol Gaismas pils (Castle of Light) is available in our Music department.
