Solitude/Vientuliba

for SATB double choir This large-scale work was written for the BBC Singers and the Latvian Radio Choir, and shows Jackson at his most inventive in his choral writing. This vocally demanding score evokes positive aspects of solitude and silence. It sets two poems: 'O Solitude' by John Keats and 'Klusums' (Silence) by the Latvian poet Ronalds Briedis.
