"An intriguing disc, and far more than a
curiosity"
Early Music Review |
Signum Classics are proud to release the King's Singers fifth disc on
Signum; Sacred Bridges.
For thousands of years, the biblical Psalter has been the liturgical
“heart” of the three main book religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The Psalms announce the word of God and, simultaneously, contain the full
range of human experience.
Jews, Christians and Muslims sing and listen to the same songs of
lament and joy, confessions of sin, hymns of praise and adoration. In this
project of the King’s Singers and Sarband, psalm settings by composers
from three religions give an example of how psalms can be a source of
spirituality, a political instrument, a link between tradition and
modernity and, above all, a bridge connecting human beings.
