Synopsis

Product Description

American choral music has many
faces and, while aware of tradition,
often looks resolutely towards the
future. Vincent Persichetti's Mass
envelops an original cantus firmus in
a shimmering silken garment of
ever-shifting harmonies, while
Lukas Foss provides a lyre-like
accompaniment for his lean,
sometimes athletic, settings of three
Psalms. Irving Fine sets poems by
Shakespeare's contemporary Ben
Jonson (The Hour-Glass), William
Schuman draws on texts by Walt
Whitman for his Carols of Death,
while William Bolcom uses African-
American poems as the basis for a
wide-ranging song cycle, The Mask.
