{"product_id":"lang-crossing-poor-hymnal-cd","title":"Lang \/ Crossing - Poor Hymnal [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike his Pulitzer-winning work the little match girl passion, David Lang's 'poor hymnal' tries to get to the core of what a religious experience can be. \"What I love about hymnals,\" the composer writes in his liner notes to the CD, \"is that they're a catalog of things a community of worshippers can agree on - a catalog that can be sung. And what the worshippers are singing about matters.\" 'poor hymnal' is a concert-length work written for the multiple GRAMMY Award-winning chamber choir The Crossing, conducted by Donald Nally. Lang constructed the text by stitching together lines, phrases and poignant utterances from sources as varied as the Old Testament, Mahatma Gandhi and Tolstoy - to name just a few. As Lang explains: \"This piece is trying to say: The reason we are coming together is to remember how important we are to each other, and to remember how important it is that we take care of each other.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~I saw a poor man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~Open your hands (after deuteronomy 15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~Our hearts tell us (after psalm 27 and mahatma gandhi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~All who are hungry (after the passover haggadah)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~The least of us (after leviticus 19 and matthew 25)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~I know I should (after h.a. walter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~If you close your ear (after proverbs 21:13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~Prayer for kindness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~What is mine (after elizabeth warren, barack obama, and saint basil)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~Take nothing with you (after luke 9:3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~What remains (after the sayings of the fathers and matthew 6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~Things that never fail (after 1 corinthians 13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~I saw a poor man - choral return\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Hymnal~Wherever charity is (after tolstoy, after ubi caritas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 713746320522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantaloupe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.21.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59576728977489,"sku":"76757","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4394869-3312291.jpg?v=1779960391","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/lang-crossing-poor-hymnal-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
