On Friday, June 19, Lorelei Ensemble releases David Lang’s love fail on Cantaloupe Music. "love fail" is a meditation on the timelessness of love that weaves together details from medieval retellings of the story of Tristan and Isolde with stories from more modern works by Lydia Davis, Marie de France, Gottfried von Strassburg, Béroul, Thomas of Britain, and Richard Wagner.

Originally written for vocal quartet performing on simple percussion instruments, Lang’s "love fail" was arranged for Lorelei Ensemble in 2016 and was premiered by Lorelei at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. This expanded choral arrangement adds haunting texture and power, as well as a more fully rounded sound, to Lang's austere original.
