about

Distressed by the darkness and struggles in the world the composer seeks to remind us of the immortal soul. In “Madrigal”, Vasks combines elements of Western polyphony with modern compositional techniques, achieving exceptional expressiveness and depth.

Recorded live at the performance on June 1, 2016

lyrics

Madrigal (text: Claude de Pontoux, Latvian translation by Edvarts Virza)

In time flowers wilt and become limp,
in time the sea will calm its waves,
in time great rivers run dry,
in time even iron softens.
In time distant battles must end.
In time castles will vanish under grass.
Only your pride is still ablaze
and constantly withstands the course of time.
