GORECKI Miserere CD WARNER

Original cd in jewelcase, complete.

Miserere, op. 44 Was written in 1981 by polish composer henryk górecki. Written for large (120 voices) a cappella mixed choir, a typical performance lasts 35 minutes. The text comprises five words: domine deus noster (lord our god), which are repeated for the first ten sections, resolved by a chorus of miserere nobis (have mercy on us) in the eleventh and final section. Both lines of the text are formed as simple but imploring pleas. Górecki wrote the work in 1981 as a protest against government intervention in the workings of the polish solidarity trade union - specifically, in response to the government-sanctioned assault of activists in bydgoszcz. After martial law was enacted in december of that year, performance of the piece became impossible, and the piece was not performed until 1987. The first performance took place on 10 september 1987 in st. Stanisaus church wocawek, and a day later in bydgoszcz, with stanisaw krawczyski conducting the bydgoszcz philharmonic choir.
