2023 for the label Passacaille)called, Ex tenebris ad lucem: Venetian Music of Penitence from a time of Plague (1575-77). The CD juxtaposes music from the Venetian plague years with a newly commissioned work of American composer Robert Kyr. Here you can hear the second half of Kyr's work, which alternates transformed excepts of Venetian motets from the time of the plague with brief arias for soprano soloist(Hana Blazikova) accompanied by cornetto, violin, violone and organ.

Michel Khalil Helayel ”Song Has a Bird for Rhythm”
Song
Has a bird
For rhythm
 
Song
Lives in blue sky
 
Birds never abandon song
 
Song
Birds who carry
Story lines from our hands
 
Birds who record
Their symphony
In the seeds of days to come
 
Song
Is the rhythm of the wind
The high seas of nostalgia
 
Song
Runs through the veins
Beats in the ground of words
