Biblical Songs

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Věra Soukupová & Ivan Moravec

Biblical Songs is a song cycle by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1894. The work sets Czech biblical texts for voice and piano in a late-Romantic idiom that blends lyrical and folk-derived elements with darker, sombre passages, and it was written during Dvořák's time in the United States as part of his late-period output.
