The second ECM New Series album to fully showcase pure-toned Estonian vocal group Vox Clamantis is devoted to compositions by their great countryman, Arvo Part whose music has been the most performed globally of any living composer over the past five years.

This album titled The Deers Cry after its first track, an incantatory work for a cappella mixed choir is also the latest in an illustrious line of ECM New Series releases to feature Parts compositions, the very music that inspired Manfred Eicher to establish the New Series imprint in 1984.

Along with such classic works as Da pacem Domine, the new album includes first-time recordings of the a cappella pieces Drei Hirtenkinder aus Fatima and Habitare Fratres.

There is also an a cappella version of Alleluia-Tropus, which Vox Clamantis previously recorded alongside instruments for the acclaimed New Series album Adams Lament.

Rarely recorded material makes up nearly half of this new release, including three pieces with instrumental accompaniment: Von Angesicht zu Angesicht, Sei gelobt, du Baum and Veni Creator.
