The ECM New Series released multiple recordings of Bryars' music in the 1980s and early '90s, including the classic albums After the Requiem and Vita Nova. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe first full ECM album from Bryars in decades is The Fifth Century, which includes the seven-part title work: a slowly evolving -- yet immediately involving -- setting of words by 17th-century English mystic Thomas Traherne, performed by the mixed choir of The Crossing with saxophone quartet PRISM. The album also features Two Love Songs, luminous a cappella settings of Petrarch for the women of The Crossing.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: PRISM saxophone quartet, The Crossing, Donald Nally (conductor)\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: We see the heavens with our eyes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: As sure as there is a space infinite\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: Infinity of space is like a painter\\u2019s table\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: Eternity is a mysterious absence of times and ages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: Eternity magnifies our joys exceedingly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: His omnipresence is our field of joys\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Century: Our bridegroom and our king being everywhere\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Love Songs: Io amai sempre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Love Songs: Solo et pensoso\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55219206553985,"sku":"607135","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51KbaIwpEJL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768681473","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/607135","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
