I Call to You is a new record of music inspired by music by Baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach, and performed by the Dublin-based group Ergodos Musicians. A project originally conceived in the darker moments of Ireland’s financial crisis, this is music that underlines a sense of hope, and renewal.
The album features music by Irish artists Garrett Sholdice, Benedict Schlepper-Connolly, Jonathan Nangle and Simon O’Connor, composed after Bach’s sublime organ chorale prelude ‘Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ’ (BWV 639). Bach’s graceful counterpoint, itself based on a pre-existing Lutheran hymn, recurs across the record like a memory – each time different, each time reconsidered.
The music of I Call to You is performed with exceptional sensitivity by Ergodos Musicians, featuring some of the most refined and eclectic musicians working in Ireland today: vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, clarinettist Jonathan Sage, violinist Clíodhna Ryan, cellist William Butt and pianist Michael McHale.
I Call to You is available on compact disc or as a high quality digital download.
