Sibelius and Nordic Polyphonies | Barcelona Ars Nova · MarchVivo

Some countries have fully integrated choral singing into their social, religious or cultural habits. Since the 19th century, composers such as Jean Sibelius have inspired a rich compositional tradition of choral singing in the Nordic countries of which we hear a representative sample from the hand of Barcelona Ars Nova, culminating with a Veljo Tormis's wrok based on a text by Fernando Pessoa.
