Product description
The cycle "Verba sancta" for soprano and piano (harpsichord, organ) was composed by Hurník in 2003 and premiered at the Janáček May Festival in 2006 in a version for soprano and chamber orchestra. It is the last song cycle in his work. It consists of five songs on biblical texts, to which the composer commented: " I chose biblical texts and isolated individual words or phrases from them. All of them have a deep spiritual meaning, but they are generally known. This way the listener will not be preoccupied with what is being sung about and surrender to the melody.
Ilja Hurník (1922 – 2013) was a Czech composer, pianist, music teacher, playwright and writer. The versatility of his talent was evident from childhood. At the age of six he wrote his first songs based on his own texts, and at the age of eleven his piano pieces were published. Hurník's compositional legacy has more than a hundred items and includes almost all musical genres - from small compositions for children to songs, choirs and chamber pieces to cantatas, operas, ballets and symphonies. He worked as a pedagogue for many years at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and at the conservatory in Prague, where he taught three subjects - piano, chamber music and composition.
