Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This latest of Jordi Savall's multi-lingual CD-book projects focuses not on a single historical figure or period, but on the notion of peace, transmitted through the music of wide-ranging cultures and eras.
Four essays by internationalist commentators are accompanied by terrifying statistics about economics, war and nuclear explosions, and more agreeably by music ranging from 2nd century Greek Oracles to Arvo Part's “Da Pacem Domine”, via Parabosco, Tye and Purcell. The period instrument specialists from Savall's Hespèrion XXI and voices from La Capella Reial de Catalunya lay down beautifully simple settings for guest vocalists from various cultures, notably the gorgeous tones of Montserrat Figueras.
