Unique within the biblical canon, the Song of Songs, also called the Song of Solomon, speaks of love and longing in language that is heard both literally and symbolically, as human intimacy and as an image of divine devotion. Renaissance composers often set these words within balanced polyphony that invites contemplation and spiritual order, while modern composers tend to respond more directly to their immediacy and ambiguity. Come hear how words and music combine to express the passion of this sacred poem.
