The Night Sky Glory
Songs and Choral works by Lachlan Brown
Vocal compositions by Lachlan Brown with texts by Victor Hugo, Heinrich Heine and Reiner Maria Rilke as well as wordless choral pieces.
Legendary accompanist Len Vorster joins tenors Lyndon Green, Timothy Reynolds and Alistair Cooper-Golec and soprano Jenna Roubos to perform songs by Lachlan Brown with texts by Victor Hugo, Heinrich Heine and Reiner Maria Rilke.
The music beautifully coveys the poetry, by turn joyful, sensuous and melancholy.
The rest of the album is wordless, with vocalises sung by Roubos (with harp), treble Jimmy Hilton (with organ), and wordless choral meditations sung by Brown, Elspeth Bawden, Alison Rae-Jones and Holly Haines.
