Miserere: Henryk Górecki composed his Miserere in 1981 as a protest against military intervention in the workings of the Polish Solidarity Movement. Due to the enactment of martial law, the work remained unperformed until 1987. The Miserere stands alongside the Third Symphony as one of Górecki's most potent and emotionally charged scores. Francis Poulenc's Figure Humaine, composed during the Second World War, is a hymn to freedom from occupied France. Using the Gregorian plainsong as a starting point, Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua is one of the composer's last works: music of noble assurance and mystic calm.
