Digital concert programme for Chamber Choir Ireland's performance of SKYWALK, led by Artistic Director Paul Hillier.
In the first concert of a two-part Steve Martland retrospective, Chamber Choir Ireland will perform a number of the late composer's choral works, including his famous reimagining of children’s playground songs entitled Street Songs, as well as the concert’s dreamlike title work 'Skywalk', in which an astronaut looks back upon the beauty of Earth from space—made all the more poignant by the composer’s departure from our world in 2013.
Martland's works will be juxtaposed with those of Renaissance composer Clément Janequin—who, centuries before, shared the same desire to reflect the sounds of the world around him—with the addition of Galina Grigorjeva's psalm 'Bless the Lord, o my soul', and Arvo Pärt’s 'Da Pacem Domine.'
