"Shiru L’Adonai (“Sing to the Lord”)" celebrates four centuries of Jewish sacred choral music, from the Renaissance’s Salamone Rossi of Venice, to Romantic-era Berlin Cantor Louis Lewandowski (a friend of Mendelssohn and colleague of Brahms), to 20th-century additions, including a portion of the haunting but hopeful "Sacred Service" by Ernest Bloch, written in Switzerland in 1934 as he observed the clouds gathering over neighboring Germany.
