For this New Sounds, we’ll listen to some of the budding and now fruitful partnership of the BYU Choirs (Concert Choir, BYU Women’s Chorus, and others) and composer Eric Whitacre. Hear Hebrew love song settings by Whitacre, from a recent recording by the BYU Choirs, along with music sung by Chanticleer. Plus, there’s also choral music with and without instruments from Osvaldo Golijov, Gavin Bryars, and Estonian Veljo Tormis. Some of these works have sound design, another work is accompanied only by a Tibetan singing bowl. All that, and more.
PROGRAM #3054, Hot Choral Properties (First aired on Wed., 03/24/10)
