On November 17, Cappella Records is proud to present its 32nd release: the world-première recording of Daniel Knaggs' Two Streams, performed by the Grammy Award-winning Houston Chamber Choir led by Robert Simpson, with string ensemble Kinetic and world-class soloists. With musical threads dyed in Medieval, baroque, and contemporary colors, Knaggs' 2021 cantata weaves a breathtaking tapestry, an exploration of love and mercy that gives profound meaning to the transitory nature of life. Two Streams is structured around the words of Polish nun Maria Faustina Kowalksa (1905–1938). From a poor family that struggled during the years of the First World War, she joined the Congregation of Sisters of Mercy where she received heavenly messages to share with the world, inspiring this sublime music by Daniel Knaggs.
