RE-CYCLE, RE-VIEW, SING NEW!

How do composers take materials at hand to fashion something new? Whether borrowed or stolen, for fun or propaganda--or desperate when deadlines loom--composers exploit existing musical resources. recycled motorcycle
The Choral Artists showcase this technique in the premieres of several new works, including a Ted Allen world premiere offering a fresh look at 19th century Spanish songs. [more...]

Other featured works include:

  • Paul Ayres' Funeral Sentences: a rewrite of Baroque music for double choir -- and a California premiere. [more...]
  • Two selections from the Missa Carminum: a folk-song Mass by LA-based Paul Seiko Chirara. [more...]
  • Missa L'Homme on the Range by Mark Kilstofte: a work based on the secular tune that we know as Home on the Range and the Agnus Dei text -- set in Renaissance style. [more...]

The winners of our 5th New Voices Competition are presented, along with works by Eccard, Pederson, Schein, and others.
