Aer enim volat

Alessandro Kirschner's Aer enim volat is written for three-part women's voices (SSA) and sets a Latin text expressing the omnipresence and sustaining power of air. The music opens with a sense of gentle movement, the voices intertwining to depict the active yet unobtrusive nature of the atmosphere. The composer carefully crafts the texture to reflect the text's imagery of air supporting all creatures and being sustained by its own vital force. The liturgical character of the text as a Marian antiphon adds a sacred dimension to this evocative setting, making it a thoughtful choice for services or concerts seeking music of spiritual depth and delicate vocal interplay.
