(NEW YORK, N.Y.) — NEWS: Olim Music is proud to announce the release of two tracks by award-winning composer Brian Field: “From the Clash of Race and Creed” for orchestra, and “Senex Puerum Portabat” for choir, both released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Music and all digital platforms on April 26, 2021.
The work “From the Clash of Race and Creed” was originally inspired by the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and derives its title from the couplet in the hymn “Not alone for mighty empire,” by William Merrill in 1911 which reads: “God of justice, save the people / From the clash of race and creed.” This orchestral work juxtaposes the sometimes troubling, and often complex, dissonant aspects of today’s reality filled with conflict, worry and hatred with the hopeful and ideal world of salvation, freedom and universal brotherhood. The recording features the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra under the celebrated conductor, Mikel Toms.
