As the title suggests, these choral masterworks are truly quiet prayers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn choosing the music, much emphasis was placed upon finding the most exquisite rendition of each piece, after comparing numerous performances by different choirs. As a result, every track is sublime! Another signature feature of Sacred Treasures IV - as in the entire Sacred Treasures series (all of which is the handiwork of producer Ellen Holmes) - is the intentional sequencing of the pieces. Rather than being simply a random collection of beautiful music, Sacred Treasures IV is designed to be an inward journey or tone poem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the most notable pieces are three jewels each from beloved contemporary composers Morten Lauridsen and Arvo Part. The Lauridsen offerings are all stand-outs: the radiant \"O NATA LUX\", the heavenly \"O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM\", and the poignant \"CONTRE QUI, ROSE\" which is based upon a poem by Rilke about love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpening the album is Arvo Part's powerful invocation to wisdom \"O WEISHEIT\", which is infused with expansive natural resonance from the ancient stone church where the piece was recorded. The concluding instrumental piece is also by Arvo Part: \"PARI INTERVALLO\"--a masterpiece for pipe organ in its quietest mood. From 20th century France, there are two exquisite classics by Gabriel Faure'--\"IN PARADISUM\" from his Requiem and \"BENEDICTUS\" from the much less famous Messe Basse--and Maurice Durufle's ethereal \"IN PARADISUM\" from his Requiem. In addition, there are two angelic pieces from the RUSSIAN ORTHODOX tradition, and a heart-melting, rarely performed gem from the Renaissance--Victoria's \"JESU DULCIS MEMORIA\"--which sounds as if it could have been written yesterday. This is truly a sanctuary for the soul, a haven for the listener to return to over and over again...\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11116\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10750126339,"sku":"2-HOS-11116","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10750126403,"sku":"2-HOS-11116D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10750126467,"sku":"2-HOS-11116L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chamber Choir Versija - [Pärt] \"O Weisheit\" (MP3)","offer_id":28009609158,"sku":"USAKS0600795","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"KITKA-Women's Vocal Ensemble - [Kedrov] \"Otche Nash\" (MP3)","offer_id":28009636166,"sku":"USAKS0600796","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Voices of Ascension - [Victoria] \"Jesu, Dulcis Memoria\" (MP3)","offer_id":28009683654,"sku":"USAKS0600797","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nordic Chamber Choir - [Lauridsen] \"Contre Qui, Rose\" (MP3)","offer_id":28010034502,"sku":"USAKS0600798","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Cambridge Singers - [Fauré] \"Benedictus\" (MP3)","offer_id":28010082182,"sku":"USAKS0600799","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sofia Orthodox Choir - [Christov] \"Cherubic Hymn No. 4\" (MP3)","offer_id":28010177542,"sku":"USAKS0600800","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Corydon Singers - [Duruflé] \"In Pardisum\" (MP3)","offer_id":28010364038,"sku":"USAKS0600801","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nordic Chamber Choir - [Lauridsen] \"O Nata Lux\" (MP3)","offer_id":28010899334,"sku":"USAKS0600802","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Cambridge Singers - [Fauré] \"In Paradisum\" (MP3)","offer_id":28011173702,"sku":"USAKS0600803","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Polyphony - [Lauridsen] \"O Magnum Mysterium\" (MP3)","offer_id":28011212102,"sku":"GBAJY0544914","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moosman, Christoph Maria - [Pärt] \"Pari Intervallo\" (MP3)","offer_id":28011323910,"sku":"USAKS0600804","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chamber Choir Versija - [Pärt] \"O Weisheit\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011387014,"sku":"USAKS0600795L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"KITKA-Women's Vocal Ensemble - [Kedrov] \"Otche Nash\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011407750,"sku":"USAKS0600796L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Voices of Ascension - [Victoria] \"Jesu, Dulcis Memoria\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011448326,"sku":"USAKS0600797L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nordic Chamber Choir - [Lauridsen] \"Contre Qui, Rose\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011458694,"sku":"USAKS0600798L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Cambridge Singers - [Fauré] \"Benedictus\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011469126,"sku":"USAKS0600799L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sofia Orthodox Choir - [Christov] \"Cherubic Hymn No. 4\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011487814,"sku":"USAKS0600800L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Corydon Singers - [Duruflé] \"In Pardisum\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011500934,"sku":"USAKS0600801L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nordic Chamber Choir - [Lauridsen] \"O Nata Lux\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011533958,"sku":"USAKS0600802L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Cambridge Singers - [Fauré] \"In Paradisum\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011555718,"sku":"USAKS0600803L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Polyphony - [Lauridsen] \"O Magnum Mysterium\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011568134,"sku":"GBAJY0544914L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moosman, Christoph Maria - [Pärt] \"Pari Intervallo\" (WAV)","offer_id":28011629574,"sku":"USAKS0600804L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Sacred-Treasures-IV.png?v=1450122995"}],"url":"https:\/\/valley-entertainment.myshopify.com\/collections\/vadim-gluzman.oembed","provider":"Valley Entertainment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
