Next to the Gregorian chant, considered to be the foundation of all European professional music culture, Vox Clamantis often performs early polyphony and contemporary music. Many Estonian composers, among them Arvo Pärt, Helena Tulve, Tõnis Kaumann, Toivo Tulev and Erkki-Sven Tüür have written compositions for Vox Clamantis.

Vox Clamantis has performed together with various internationally renowned organists like Jean Boyer, Jon Laukvik and others, and given concerts with Catalan soprano Arianna Savall, early music consort Hortus Musicus, new music group NYYD Ensemble and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. Continuous collaboration with different musicians has inspired the birth of impromptu programmes, based on improvisation, with the Weekend Guitar Trio, saxophonist Villu Veski and the American percussionist Brian Melvin. In spring 2007 a new programme « Sacred Voices » with the Tunisian singer Dhafer Youssef was premiered.

Vox Clamantis has recorded for ECM Records, Mirare and Arion. The CD « Annum per annum », where Gregorian Chant and early polyphony is interwoven with organ music by Arvo Pärt, recorded together with an Estonian organist Aare-Paul Lattik, has received very positive international feedback.

Concert tours have taken Vox Clamantis to Latvia, Finland, Norway, the Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, UK, Italy, Greece, Lebanon and Canada. Particularly should be highlighted the close collaboration with Le Chœur Grégorien de Paris (the Paris Gregorian Choir), which has resulted in concerts in different European countries, but also in Morocco and Japan.

Walking to the chip shop during the blackout in WW2 (I was 6 or thereabouts), I had to pass a house with a scary door-knocker that looked like a devil. For protection, I used to say as much of St Patrick's Breastplate (from which these lyrics are extracted) as I could remember, and ran past the doorway. Later in life I learnt the whole prayer (about 70 lines) . The bit that I can remember today:


"Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,

Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the ear that hears me,
Christ in the eye that sees me."


It must have been an effective prayer as the devil never caught me.

His compositions are an earth's treasure.

From the outside, his work seems simple.
Yet even on youtube there aren't a lot of bad examples;

Because? it's hard music to do, so that those who try but aren't up to it
bow out from some healthy shame, I think, and just don't post their efforts.

I could recommend the Berliner Mass, and Los Angeles,
as two pieces that are free for the listen here, and well-made.

But, a "ton" here. "Spiegel im Spiegel", "Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten"
("cantus" sounds to me like Barber's "Adagio for Strings" played backwards,
tho' I know that's not the case: just, erm, how it feels)

Shards of his music litter Hollywood movies like the broken headlight glass
from James Dean's fatal car wreck:
often cited, little understood.

so, go to imdb.com and look for Arvo Part.
If you find Gyorgi Ligeti in other scores from the 1970's,
give those a listen also.

(that one's called "my heart's in the highlands'
male alto and pipe organ are the two instruments)

In short:

Congratulations on your discovery, you've found some gold. ~

Lyrics
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in me, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Christ with me.

There are still people who can compose. There are still people who can sing. There are still people who are moved by beauty. Give thanks.

@urmorph

@paul w Huh? Are there ducks in Mongolia?

@donalddade5643

My sentiments exactly. He's a modern day Palestrina.

@ukaszczop4373

@SacredSong

@paul w So people who like order and beauty support the politics of order and beauty. Is that your point? Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

@frogmouth

@paul w ha ha. Love this stuff. Have never voted conservative. Support extinction rebellion, get up, friends of refugees, public housing. I could go on, but what's the point?

I recently experienced several hours of recurring paralysis on my right side and loss of speech. At times, during this personal ordeal, I listened to Deer's Cry.
You were all angels to me then.
Thank you Andrea, Eleonore, Katie, Barnaby, Blake, Euan, Chris and Jonathan.

@VOCES8

Thanks for your kind words Alan, and we hope you're recovering.

Arvo Pärt, man we are so lucky to have lived in his era

@jjbrophy1

This prayer was composed by Saint Patrick in the year 433 AD. He was aware that there was an ambush to try to kill him and his group en route to the King’s court. It was during the march that they sang the Deer’s Cry. As the druids lay in hiding, ready to kill, it is said that they saw not Patrick and his men, but a gentle doe followed by twenty fawns. The miracle saved Patrick and his men. “The Deer’s Cry”, is known by several names, “Lorica” and “The Breastplate of St Patrick” which is another version of the prayer of St. Patrick. It is a beautiful prayer celebrating a God who lives with his children, guiding them, sheltering them, strengthening them. Stunning composition and singing
