On November 17, Cappella Records is proud to present the world première recording of DANIEL KNAGGS’ TWO STREAMS, performed by the GRAMMY® Award-winning Houston Chamber Choir led by Robert Simpson, with string ensemble Kinetic and world-class soloists.With musical threads dyed in Medieval, baroque, and contemporary colors, Knaggs’ 2021 cantata weaves a breathtaking tapestry, an exploration of love and mercy that gives profound meaning to the transitory nature of life.Two Streams is structured around the words of Polish nun Maria Faustina Kowalska (1905–1938). From a poor family that struggled during the years of the First World War, she joined the Congregation of Sisters of Mercy where she received heavenly messages to share with the world, inspiring this sublime music by Daniel Knaggs.Available on SACD and produced by multi-GRAMMY® Award winner Blanton Alspaugh and the team at SoundMirror.TracksDaniel Knaggs (b. 1983)Two StreamsPrologue (3:39)Thick Darkness (6:14)Song of Mercy I (3:11)Invocations (5:42)Only Love (3:32)Song of Mercy II (3:10)Merciful Heart (7:24)Meditation (6:11)Song of Mercy III (4:37)Mercy to Others (4:49)Mother of Mercy (6:15)Song of Mercy IV (4:32)Come, O Earth (5:08)Epilogue (5:29)Help support our show by purchasing this album at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) This album is broadcast with the permission of Sean Dacy from Rosebrook Media.
