We have all felt a sense of distance while traveling afar. Bern Herbolsheimer's "Love Letters" sets four Tatar lovesongs from just such a traveler. Jaakko Mäntyjärvi's "Canticum calamitatis maritimae," written to commemorate the 1994 sinking of a ferry in the Baltic Sea, is an elaborate and dramatic tone-poem for unaccompanied voices. We also highlight some special texts, including a speech by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and words of astronaut Russell Schweickart, as a reminder that we are all journeying together on this planet. Gustav Holst and William Billings tell stories of difficult journeys at sea that nevertheless end happily.
