Under the Arching Heavens

芬兰裔美国作曲家亚历克斯·弗里曼（Alex Freeman）被形容为“在流行抒情歌曲和音乐厅领域都游刃有余”，他的歌曲“蕴含着人们对一位受过严格学术训练的作曲家所期待的精湛技艺和匠心，正如他的音乐会作品带有流行音乐的情感即时性。” 弗里曼本人是一位合唱歌手，他创作的许多合唱作品旨在优美动听、旋律流畅，并经过精心构思，以避免传统调性中可能出现的陈词滥调。 本专辑收录了弗里曼的安魂曲《高天之下》 (Under the arching heavens)，该作品受尼尔斯·施韦肯迪克（Nils Schweckendiek）和赫尔辛基室内合唱团（Helsinki Chamber Choir）委托创作，旨在纪念1918年芬兰内战一百周年。作品融合了芬兰语、瑞典语和英语的诗歌，既反映了委约创作的具体原因，也体现了战争给人类带来的普遍苦难。在弗里曼选择的非礼仪性文本中，鸟类和母子形象是反复出现的意象。这部作品以沃尔特·惠特曼（Walt Whitman）在美国内战后创作的一首诗中的诗句结尾。 专辑中还收录了另一部近期创作的合唱作品《一片汪洋》 (A Wilderness of Sea)，它借鉴了莎士比亚（Shakespeare）的作品，以及这位诗人对大海和人类与大海关系的描绘。
