I envision a twenty-first century ACDA that becomes fully engaged in world choral initiatives.

As a composer I have written a lot of choral music. This is the premiere performance of my latest motet: "Qui Tollis".
The text is from the old latin mass (- actually it is an exerpt of the   more...longer text "Gloria").

Thou that takest away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer.
Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father,
have mercy upon us.  less

Got these guys at the flea market yesterday...

A beautiful song performed by an amazing vocalist, Earnest Saunders.

Exquisite choral piece. Conductor & Pianist Daniel Barenboïm
I just ordered the double DVD which also includes Beethoven's Triple Concerto in C major, Op. 56

MIT Resonance singing The Killer's Mr. Brightside.

A friend of mine got me a ticket to hear the Brahms Requiem performed by the Durham Choral Society and orchestra under Rodney Wynkoop. It was awesome! My bud also loaned me a score which I followed, so   more...it was also a prime learning experience. (I have to re-educate myself constantly, because the older I get, the less I know). I couldn't viddy the concert, of course, but I shot a bit of the orchestra warming up, before the chorus filed into the risers.

In the usual surreal coincidence, I ended up seated right next to an obviously mentally troubled woman. You can hear her in the video, I didn't take her picture. The kinds of disconnected, random stuff she was spouting continued throughout the concert, albeit at a lower volume level because her caretaker person kept shushing her. I felt sorry for her, but some other folks were a bit pissed off.

This was in Baldwin Auditorium on the Duke campus. I like the dome!  less

INTRO : The legacy of choral singing is never more cherished than during the holiday season, when   more...it brings warmth and light to the winter darkness by opening the heart and feeding the soul. From the Christian churches and cathedrals of Europe and the U.S., to the Orthodox churches of Russia, central Asia, and the Holy Land, the human family gathers to listen, sing, and worship together.
After more than ten centuries of evolution, some of the finest choral music has been written in the last 100 years by a special breed of contemporary composers, who respect and extend the tradition.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, another compilation of sublime choral pieces from our longtime guest producer ELLEN HOLMES called TO THEE WE SING. (more) (less)
