Electric Fields offers modern arrangements of centuries-old vocal music, as well as new compositions, all involving soprano, pianos, and live electronics.
The meditative compositions of medieval polymath Hildegard von Bingen are the point of departure for this album. Hildegard’s texts soar to the spiritual realm both in Latin and in her invented lingua ignota. Additionally, the vernacular love songs of two composers from the Italian Baroque, Barbara Strozzi and Francesca Caccini, inspired this album. Several works from American composer Bryce Dessner complete the eclectic program.
Soprano Barbara Hannigan and pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque are joined by composer/performer David Chalmin in this captivating journey through meditative and ambient musical atmospheres. Together, they create an intense and unique cosmos of sound.
