Osmo VanskaAbout
The highly moving work, which raises eternal questions regarding humanity, tolerance and respect, became a labour of love from Osmo Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra, as well as the other musicians involved in the first performance, many of whom also participated in this recording. The oratorio has subsequently been performed by student forces in the USA who have taken it around the world.
Stephen Paulus, a prolific Minnesota-based composer, has received commissions from orchestras and institutions such as the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Washington Opera and Los Angeles Master Chorale. His close collaboration with librettist Michael Dennis Browne on To be Certain of the Dawn is a continuation of a long-standing creative partnership which has also produced, among other works, the operas 'The Village Singer', 'Harmoonia' and 'The Three Hermits'.
