On
Sunday, October 12, 2008, the Indiana University Singers conducted by Professor William Jon Gray performed
Veni
Veni Emmanuel (A Christmas Prayer)
for tenor solo and triple chorus.
The Herald Times said it was"Masterful and stunning." Read the entire review.
They also sang some Vaughan-Williams, William Byrd, and Miskinis. This is a terrific ensemble. Recording coming soon!
A couple weeks back I sat on panel discussions at Indiana University
with composers Sven-David Sandstrom, Gabriela Ortiz, and
several concert presenters from around the country on writing
for the voice, opera, and choral music. It was a lively discussion,
with some beautiful presentations. And it indicates renewed interest in composition for vocal music--a very healthy development in the American
music scene.
