The Jenesais Choir - Adam Silverman Elegy for the Earth (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Adam Silverman's choral work Elegy for the Earth, sets biting texts by Susan Gubernat on pertinent social issues ranging from migration, the donor class, species extinction, and unsustainable energy practices. The world is a clarion call to action and awareness, given a powerful performance by The Jenesais Choir, conducted by Mitos Andaya Hart.

Adam Silverman's choral setting of texts by Susan Gubernat, Elegy for the Earth, tackles a suite of ramifications of climate change through direct, expressive music. Silverman's harmonic palette is grounded in extended tonal and polytonal structures, and he uses vocal effects with restraint for word painting and setting. The result is a work that is both substantial and economical, powerful and restrained, with nine movements that rise to the import of their topic without overstating their case.
