An exploration of heights and depths both literal and figurative, through works spanning six countries, four languages, and nearly seven hundred years. The beauty of earth and sky, the baseness of sin and the holy joys of heaven, the pinnacles and nadirs of human love: all of these find expression in the music and poetry of this program.
