Description:

The definitive recording of A Modern Version of Lamentations, incorporating a variety of musical elementsThe Old Testament book of Lamentations is named after the songs written by the prophet Jeremiah to mourn the burning of Jerusalem by the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 586 BC and the subsequent Babylonian captivity of the Israelites. While composers throughout history have dedicated numerous musical works to this text, this recording features a concerto for bass clarinet and chorus written by the up-and-coming Canadian composer Peter-Anthony Toni. Rich in improvisation and featuring a grand chorus, this workwhich also weaves in abundant elements of jazz and contemporary musicsoars triumphantly toward the heavens through the fiery, energetic interplay between the clarinet and the chorus.Universal Music/IMS
