Is a choral masterpiece with profound roots in the Afro-Cuban heritage of composer Ernesto Herrera. Drawing inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of Cuba, this composition seamlessly blends traditional elements with polyphonic techniques reminiscent of the Renaissance era. Contemporary harmonies add a layer of modernity, crafting a sonic experience transcending time and space.
This jubilant anthem, celebrating faith and spiritual joy, is a vibrant expression of cultural and linguistic diversity. By interweaving both English and Spanish languages, the piece pays homage to the influences of both Cuba and the United States, where Herrera now resides. This linguistic fusion is a poignant testament to the cultural richness that enriches our lives and communities.
«Sing unto the Lord a New Song» is more than just a choral composition; it serves as a bridge between cultures, a reminder of the beauty that emerges when linguistic and geographical boundaries fade in the face of music’s mighty force.
Bilingual text:
Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
