COR16031 Barber Agnus Dei
An American Collection
Price: £10.50
Overview
This collection of American choral music spanning the twentieth century features familiar and less well-known composers, from the lyrical traditionalism of Barber by way of Bernstein and Copland to the counterpoint, rhythmic verve and neo-classicism of Irving Fine. The disc finishes with the dreamily haunting Acrostic Song from Final Alice by David del Tredici.
