Water & Light (2003)
selections to bring you peace and comfort
What do "Water & Light" sound like? The answer just may be on The Choral Project's fourth CD recording.
Eric Whitacre, Rene Clausen, Morten Lauridsen and others give us the glassy calm of early morning waters, a ripple from a tossed stone, and the sun's rays bouncing off of gentle waves.
Here's what the critics are saying:
"...Although Morten Lauridsen's gorgeous setting of "O magnum mysterium" by now is an established repertoire piece for many choirs and has been recorded many times, it's done so beautifully here that it makes the disc worth owning for this performance alone. But there's also Frank Ticheli's realization of Sara Teasdale's poem "There will be rest" -- a true masterpiece that every capable choir and choral aficionado should know -- and David Giardiniere's arrangement of Elgar's "Nimrod" (from Enigma Variations) to the Agnus Dei text, both of which will impress anyone with a love of singing, beautiful melodies, and more or less traditional harmonic and textural structures."
