My Spirit Soars 3/3
The Seattle Choral Company proudly presents music by three of America's most prominent living choral composers.
Morten Lauridsen: "Lux Aeterna"
A native of Washington State, Morten Lauridsen is now considered one of America's finest and most beloved composers whose music is heart-felt and radiant. Critics were jubilant after our May 2000 performance of his "Lux Aeterna," and we are excited to revisit this 1997 masterpiece for our anniversary season.
"Lauridsen delivers bouts of light and shade that dapple the senses with a grace that the biblical 'multitude of the heavenly host' might envy." (CNN.com/February 8, 2006)
Eric Whitacre: "Her Sacred Spirit Soars" "Water Night" "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine"
At age 36, Eric Whitacre is one of the bright stars in contemporary concert music The Los Angeles Times praised his compositions as "works of unearthly beauty and imagination, (with) electric, chilling harmonies," while the Philadelphia Inquirer has called him "the hottest thing in choral music."
Bern Herbolsheimer: "Dos Suenos" (Two Dreams) World Premiere
A newly commissioned work based on mystical poems by Antonio Machado and Federico Garcia Lorca. Sung in Spanish.
The Seattle Weekly stated, "No Seattle composer has a more assured and polished craft than Bern Herbolsheimer. His choral writing - and there's a lot of it - is luminous and subtle." Be with us when this newly commissioned major work by this treasured Northwest composer will be unveiled!
