English to Spanish: CD Review - Borkowski: Choral Works General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Music
Source text - English Marian Borkowski was born in 1934 in Pabianice, Poland. He studied composition with Kazimierz Sikorski and piano with Jan Ekier and Natalia Hornowska at the Academy of Music in Warsaw. Later he continued postgraduate studies in composition with Nadia Boulanger, Olivier Messiaen, and Iannis Xenakis. Since 1968 he has been on the faculty of the Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw. There he has educated several dozen Polish composers and other students. His works have been recorded on over fifty professional albums. In addition to his work as a composer, Borkowski has also been an active music scholar and performer.
This album contains all of Borkowski’s a cappella choral compositions. Released during the 55th anniversary of his compositional career, the album also marks the 35th anniversary of the Polish Chamber Choir, a professional choir of 24 singers under the direction of Jan Łukaszewski. The active group performs roughly 80-100 concerts annually, ranging from a cappella works to large-scale oratorios, operas, and symphonic works. Over its history, the ensemble has premiered over 500 contemporary works and has recorded on over 70 professional recordings, including Penderecki: Complete Choral Works. Since 1983 they have been led by Jan Łukaszewski, a choral specialist who also leads the boys' and men's Choir Pueri Cantores Olivenses in addition to his teaching and other conducting duties.
Recorded in a resonant space, this album has sacred and secular compositions which are interspersed effectively into a compelling concert program. The first three selections on the album are based on sacred texts. The Libera me I opens with forceful declamatory statements, alternating with echoes of hushed reverence. With its consonance and homophonic texture, the music is quite accessible. While containing dissonances and some extended harmonies, it is reminiscent of more traditional motet settings.
Translation - Spanish Este álbum contiene las obras a capela más importantes de Borkowski. Este álbum se ha publicado coincidiendo con el 55 aniversario de su carrera como compositor, y también marca el 35 aniversario del Coro de Cámara de Polonia, un coro profesional de 24 cantantes dirigido por Jan Lukaszewski. El grupo en activo realiza de 80 a 100 conciertos todos los años, con un repertorio que abarca desde obras a capela hasta grandes oratorios, óperas y obras sinfónicas. En su historia, este conjunto ha estrenado unas 500 obras contemporáneas y ha grabado unos 70 álbumes profesionales, incluyendo las obras corales completas de Penderecki (Penderecki: Complete Choral Works). Jan Lukaszewski, que dirige la formación desde 1983, es un especialista coral que también dirige las formaciones de chicos y hombres del coro Pueri Cantores Olivenses, además ejercer como profesor y realizar otras labores como director.
Grabado en un espacio resonante, este álbum tiene composiciones religiosas y seculares, alternadas de una forma muy eficaz para crear un programa fascinante. Las primeras tres piezas del disco se basan en textos sagrados. El Libera me I abre el concierto con una serie de alegatos declamatorios de gran fuerza, alternando con ecos de humildes reverencias. Con su consonancia y su textura homofónica, la música es bastante accesible. Contiene disonancias y algunas armonías extendidas, lo que recuerda a motetes más tradicionales.
English to Spanish: The Third Annual United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English The Third Annual United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights will take place from 1 to 3 December in Geneva, Switzerland. Pursuant to Human Rights Council resolutions 17/4 and 26/22, the Forum seeks to promote dialogue and cooperation on issues linked to business and human rights. It will discuss trends and challenges in the implementation of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework (“Guiding Principles”), including challenges faced in particular sectors, operational environments or in relation to specific rights or groups, as well as identify good practices.
The business and human rights agenda does not exist in a vacuum, but is continuously reshaped by global currents. The 2014 Forum is held at a time of urgent international security and health emergencies as well as critical structural challenges. These include climate change, decimation of eco-systems, global economic slow-down, youth unemployment, broken trust in the financial system, and domestic political tensions across regions. Central to several current global crises is the failure of States to ensure proper protection and respect for human rights. Another backdrop in a changing global landscape is the rising power and roles of corporations in society. Upholding human rights in the context of economic activity is at the heart of calls for scaling up responsible business practice, and understanding the roles and responsibilities of companies in this new context is one of the most significant challenges for global policymakers at the beginning of the 21st century. The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights were designed precisely to address global governance gaps characterized by the lack of Government capacity or will to protect human rights and the increased reach and impact of corporations. They represent the first globally acknowledged framework to clarify the respective duties and responsibilities of Governments and business to prevent, mitigate and remedy adverse human rights impacts of business operations. Since their endorsement by the United Nations in 2011, they have been gaining ground. However, implementation by States and business remains patchy and has not yet reached scale. Wider and more effective uptake would contribute to better governance and equitable growth through upholding human dignity, respect for rights in the workplace and better business-community relationships. There are increasing calls for States and business to step up action, including for States to negotiate a legally binding instrument.
Translation - Spanish Introducción
El tercer Foro de Naciones Unidas sobre las empresas y los derechos humanos se celebrará del 1 al 3 de diciembre en Ginebra (Suiza). De acuerdo a las resoluciones 17/4 y 26/22 del Consejo de Derechos Humanos, el Foro busca promover el diálogo y la cooperación en temas relacionados con las empresas y los derechos humanos. Se debatirán tendencias y retos en la aplicación de los Principios Rectores sobre las empresas y los derechos humanos: puesta en práctica del marco de las Naciones Unidas para “proteger, respetar y remediar” (“Principios Rectores”), incluyendo todos aquellos retos que se han presentado en sectores concretos, entornos operacionales o en relación a derechos específicos o grupos, además de destacar las buenas prácticas.
Contexto
Las empresas y los derechos humanos no existen en el vacío, sino que cambian constantemente por las corrientes mundiales. El Foro de 2014 se celebra en una época de grandes emergencias de seguridad y sanidad a nivel internacional, así como algunos retos estructurales de carácter crítico. Estos incluyen el cambio climático, la desaparición de los ecosistemas, la desaceleración de la economía mundial, el desempleo de los jóvenes, la pérdida de confianza en el sistema financiero y las tensiones políticas locales en distintas regiones. Una causa fundamental de esto es el fracaso de los estados a la hora de asegurar protección adecuada y respeto por los derechos humanos. Otro trasfondo en el panorama actual del mundo, en cambio constante, es el poder en aumento y el papel de las grandes empresas en la sociedad. Respetar los derechos humanos en un contexto de actividad económica es una prioridad a la hora de incrementar prácticas responsables en la empresa, y comprender el papel y las responsabilidades de las empresas en este nuevo contexto es uno de los cambios más significativos para los encargados de la formulación de políticas a nivel mundial a principios del siglo XXI. Los Principios Rectores sobre las empresas y los derechos humanos se crearon precisamente para el detectar los fallos en la gobernanza mundial caracterizados por la falta de capacidad o voluntad de los gobiernos a la hora de proteger los derechos humanos y el alcance e impacto cada vez mayor de las empresas. Estos principios representan el primer marco global reconocido que pretende clarificar los derechos y deberes de los gobiernos y las empresas para prevenir, mitigar y remediar efectos adversos de los derechos humanos en las operaciones de las empresas. Han ido ganando terreno desde su reconocimiento por parte de las Naciones Unidas en 2011. Sin embargo, la aplicación de estos principios por parte de los estados y las empresas sigue siendo desigual y no ha alcanzado su máximo exponente. Adoptar estos principios de forma más amplia y efectiva contribuiría a una mejor gobernabilidad y un crecimiento equitativo, defendiendo la dignidad de las personas, el respeto por los derechos humanos en el lugar de trabajo y una mejor relación entre las empresas y las comunidades. Están incrementando las llamadas de atención a los estados y las empresas para que pongan en marcha distintos planes de acción, incluyendo la negociación por parte de los estados de un instrumento legalmente vinculante.
