Stephen Layton and Polyphony have a special relationship with the music of Arvo Part. The extraordinary purity of Polyphony's singing is the perfect vehicle for music of such clean, elemental simplicity, such cathartic calm. Their recording of Triodion and other choral works won a Gramophone Award and became a cult classic. The selections on this album span nearly five decades - from 1963 to 2012. A range of biblical texts are set alongside ancient prayers, and the works feature several different languages.
