The choir Conspirare has been in existence since the 1990s and has recorded more than 25 albums. The group reliably delivers an ethereal sound with spiritual overtones generated in part by a nice church acoustic from Delos; the sound has some depth but never becomes soupy. Conspirare has often released thematic albums with coherent, innovative repertory choices. House of Belonging, which takes its title from an included work by Shara Nova, is a bit more general, with texts that emphasize human connection and oneness with the natural world. Here, Conspirare and its director, Craig Hella Johnson, achieve a musical variety that perhaps exceeds anything they've done previously. There are plenty of sunny tunes like Nova's I Have Never Loved Someone and Joy by Margaret Bonds, but other works are more unconventional. Sample Michael Schachter's O Vorsehung, which weaves text from Beethoven's despairing Heiligenstadt Testament with the slow movement of his String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132, subtitled "Prayer of One Recovering to the Godhead." That is one of a group of pieces where the choir is joined by the Miró Quartet in a balance elegantly handled by Johnson. Moira Smiley's "Haiku" is another work with unusual textual content, and this one shows that Johnson's way of having his soloist seem to emerge organically from the texture is undimmed. A wonderful choral release.
