		25th November 2010 _________________________________________________ ROYAL HOLLOWAY CHOIR in association with HYPERION RECORDS and LITHUANIAN EMBASSY IN LONDON is pleased to invite you to a reception to launch the CD: TIME IS ENDLESS CHORAL MUSIC BY VYTAUTAS MISKINIS Following their disc of the music of Rihards Dubra, The Choir of Royal Holloway and their director Rupert Gough have produced a second volume of Baltic delights, turning this time to the sumptuous music of Vytautas Miskinis, the doyen of current Lithuanian choral culture. His music, while bearing identifiable Lithuanian roots, is a synthesis of different influences carefully shaped and moulded with an experienced understanding of choral orchestration. Like many other Baltic composers of the same generation, Miskinis takes an essentially diatonic approach but with much overlaying of harmonies and coloured cluster-chords. What makes the music unmistakably Lithuanian is the influence of two folk-song genres. The overall effect is luscious, radiant and exotic. This music is passionately performed by these talented young singers and sensitively recorded in a generous church acoustic. The reception and launch takes place on Thursday 25 November 2010, 6:30pm at THE LITHUANIAN EMBASSY IN LONDON In the presence of the composer Vytautas Miskinis _________________________________________________ link...>
