Description
This album is a special gift for all those listeners who appreciate vocal music in its most beautiful version – presented a cappella, in a meditative mood, provoking reflection and contemplation. It is a genuine rest for the spirit, tired of the often-intrusive sounds of the contemporary audiosphere. The composer of all the works presented on the album is Micha 322; Malec, a young artist who surprises with the profound maturity of his pieces. Among his interests, music related to the sphere of sacrum occupies a particularly important place. The artist willingly refers to Biblical texts (the album features an arrangement of Psalm 101 and of an excerpt from the Book of Ruth) as well as to non-canonical texts – poetry of John Paul II or those rooted in the Polish folk liturgy of Bitter Lamentations. In addition to religious texts, Malec has also composed music to love poems; moreover, he has reached for Edgar Allan Poe's poetry or fragments of the famous Carmina Burana. The compositional means used help the listeners feel both the beautiful texts and the accompanying music.
The Vocore ensemble, which performs the music recorded on the CD, was founded in 2017, and its mission is to sing beautiful, reflective music in excellent performance quality and present it to the audience. Micha 322; Malec is both a composer of music for the ensemble and one of its members.
