"Mystery of His Birth" available as a single release today worldwide

24. April, 2020

LMIC’s own SKANI label releases a single featured on album by Rihards Dubra and Liepāja Symphony Orchestra that will see it’s release later in May.  

 “I’m toying with impressions about Chirstmas Eve in this work. This motive is very close to heart to me. Hence, the music is like a whispering tale about the events of that silent night, about the events that actually hapened during that night," Dubra explains.   

In the interview with musicologist Dāvis Eņģelis featured in the album booklet Dubra reveals, that Mystery marks a beginning of new period for his composition style. His new musical language can be characterized with ostinato rhythms in counterpoint to flowing and soaring melodic material, thereby manipulating the sense of time. Composer concludes - this ostinato element is a direct influence by American minimalist, notably Glass and Adams. 

Rihards Dubra's international recognition has been growing steadily over the past years, especially notable are his compositions for choir. This world premiere recording of Dubra’s Mystery performed by the oldest symphony orchestra in the Baltic states - Liepaja Symphony Orchestra - provides a unique opportunity to discover new and yet unknown voice in the field of classical orchestral music. 

The full album featuring Dubra’s Symphony No. 2 will be available on May 8.
