The Portland State University Chamber Choir and Ethan Sperry present a programme of works by contemporary Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds. Interested in the narratives and sounds of religious practices from around the world, Ešenvalds uses a vocabulary that oscillates between sparse and lush and often utilises unexpected instruments such as the jaw harp, on full display in the choral pieces collected here which include The First Tears (based on an Inuit legend), Rivers of Light (inspired by the Northern Lights), A Drop in the Ocean (which commemorates Mother Theresa), and the oratorio Passion and Resurrection.
