Cradle of Life

When composing Mass of the Eternal Flame, my first Mass, I kept remembering my parish choir in Latvia, which I directed for ten years. Whatever songs of praise and worship, repentance or thanksgiving we sang, the vivid experience and understanding of the text by each singer was always prominent. In this way, my Mass was born. It is inspiring for me to know that in Houston, Texas there is also a choir with faith in God in their hearts and a true passion for expressing the Good News through music, as well as conductor Robert Simpson and organist, Daryl Robinson, whose musicianship has inspired many over the years. My sincere gratitude to them for encouraging me to write my first Mass!

Sincerely,
Eriks Esenvalds

Intuitively Martin Kohlstedt feels his way through this body of wood, felt hammers and steel strings. The composer is rigorously working on himself and pulls his listeners into the undertow. It just doesn’t get more personal than that with modern classics.
