Mutual trust, harmony and peace are values that are not easy to achieve and maintain, and are often closely related to the disputes, suffering and loss that precede them. The process of searching and striving to trust oneself and others is full of doubt, fear and pain on the one hand, and excitement, beauty and joy on the other. This palette of feelings and emotions is musically reflected in the pieces that make up Music of Trust, the first monographic album of music by Zuzanna Koziej. The compositions are based on Latin liturgical and biblical texts, which the composer treats in a universal way, directing her work to both believers and non-believers. The core of the album is formed of the most extensive works – Stabat Mater and Mass of Trust – preceded by more modestly sized choral works.
