Francis Poulenc’s Figure Humaine is one of the greatest works ever composed for unaccompanied choir – composed in 1943 in occupied France, and based on resistance-inspired poems by Paul Éluard, it is an exploration of the grim realities of war, culminating in an optimistic and embattled cry for liberty in the face of oppression. Clear Voices in the Dark, is a powerful cross-cultural statement about the expressive power of the arts, and specifically the human voice, in times of tragedy. Interspersed between Poulenc’s stirring and complex settings, Skylark offers musical images from the American Civil War era and the premiere of Matthew Guard and Benedict Sheehan’s new arrangement of “America the Beautiful.”
