Cantata: God, Thy Earth Is Aflame!
Composed for a tenor, baritone, choir, and organ (1943), it has served as artistic testimony to a tragic era, a prayer full of despair and hope, a masterpiece banned under the Soviets but triumphant during the so-called "Singing Revolution" of the late 1980s. On March 15, 1944, the cantata was performed for the first time in the crowded Old Gertrud Church by the legendary Reiters Choir, soloists Ādolfs Kaktiņš, Mariss Vētra, with the author playing the organ. Among the audience, pressed against the church door, was the author of the lyrics, the winner of the competition for "Latvian Prayer to God". Until 1982, the complete version of the cantata was thought to have been irretrievably lost because in Soviet Latvia all recordings of the composition had been destroyed. Yet composer Longins Apkalns, using musical material found in radio archives in Germany, managed to reconstruct the cantata and it was played again on May 8, 1982 in Stockholm.
