“The song series for the soprano and ensemble survives the emotional world of Fritz Beard – his feelings, images of nature and the experiences of the soul. The selected poetry has a magical and deep presence of nature, its importance in human life, and total fusion with it in one. Long and sadness is present, ”says Raivis Misjuns. “Beard poetry has a particularly mythological and philosophical nature, always highlighting and singing the beautiful and nature that is already existing, which the music here also portrays faithfully. The cycle is built as a chamber chamber for a soloist and ensemble leading through different dramatic landscapes, portraying both the composer and the writer's sensitive world. ”

Emotionally saturated performance of Catherine Paul Felsberg will perform at the concert in the Cycle of Arthur Muscat with the poetry of Ojar Vācietis, as well as Henry Poikan a cappella In the composition About the Supreme Object and Aim.
