Ton de Leeuw: Car nos vignes sont en fleur

The Song of Songs has puzzled people for centuries. How do these explicitly erotic texts fit into the religious tradition? The Swedish Radio Choir under Kaspars Putniņš and the video artist Roberts Rubīns celebrate life and the power and marvels of the physical world through three works by 20th century composers. The expressiveness of Daniel-Lesur’s mighty choral composition Le Cantique des Cantiques is well balanced by Ton de Leeuw’s intimate composition for twelve voices, Car nos vignes sont en fleurs, and Messiaen’s tender Cinq Rechants in an invented language. The Radio Choir perform the piece in unison with solo performances by the singers, which intensifies the significance of the message.

  • Composer(s): Ton de Leeuw
  • Title(s) of the Work(s):

    Car nos vignes sont en fleur
