Synopsis

Product Description
Minimalism: an important modern compositional technique that exploits simple repeating patterns to create rich vocal textures. This recording features significant choral masterworks: William Duckworth s Southern Harmony [1981], a choral work based on 19th century shape-note hymns, Arvo Pärt s The Beatitudes [1990] and Gavin Bryars s And so ended Kant s travelling in this world [1997]. Also featured is the premier of Transport, a movement from Secession s composer-in-residence Ruth Lomon s oratorio-in-progress, Testimony of Witnesses.

CD Reviews

Great Title
Brian E. Burns | Dubuque, IA | 06/28/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Duckworth piece alone is worth the price of the disc, and the text of Ruth Lomon's "Transport" is moving in its simplicity. I was drawn by the lovely title of the disc...good marketing!"
