It is particularly in his choral music that Peteris Vasks reveals his strong attachment to his Latvian home country. Nature, customs and traditions and the idea of freedom are the central themes of the texts he sets to music, while carefully using modern techniques of choral singing as well. Alternating with traditional, even archaic singing, the music creates a multi-faceted, immediately effective sound image in the listener's mind.The poem 'Ziles zina' by the contemporary Latvian poet Uldis Berzins (*1944) centres on the themes of man, nature and transience in aphoristic brevity.Vasks wrote a piece of music on this poem which contains downright rewarding tasks for the choir and opens up to the listener a fascinating world of sound. / Choeur De Femmes (SSAA) A Cappella

A popular Requiem arranged for female voices In this arrangement of Fauré?s ?Requiem? for soloists (SA) female choir (SSAA) and Organ the tenor and bass parts are distributed among the altos which has necessitated some judicious adaptations in the part-writing. The second soprano replicates the original alto part largely unchanged while the original baritone solo now resounds in the alto. The Organ arrangement takes all three versions of the ?Requiem? into consideration but primarily follows the second version of 1893 in terms of the rhythmic presentation ofthe instrumental parts.However the Organ part is tailored to the arrangement rather than trying to imitate the sound of the Orchestra. This vocal score is compatible with the performance material of the original work (BA9461). - Arrangement for female choir (SSAA) based on the Urtext of ?Gabriel Fauré The Complete Works? - Includes an idiomatic Organ reduction.

Let all the world in every corner sing was commissioned by Colston?s Girls? School in Bristol for the Chamber Choir and their Director of Music Matthew Redman and was written in August 2008 for the service to mark the school?s acquisition of Academy status.   It is a tour-de-force for upper voices ? the organ introduction leads to a tapestry of rich variety climaxing with the choir splitting into four parts for the antiphonal cries against the full organ. The music is highly rhythmic throughout its time changes dictated by the rhythm and stress of the text. An exciting addition to the intermediate upper voice choir repertoire.
