Golden Light - Contemporary American Choral Music Directed by Warren Trevelyan-Jones Programme includes works by: Morten Lauridsen, Steven Stucky, Edwin Fissinger and Eric Whitacre The title ‘Golden Light’ comes from Whitacre’s work Lux aurumque, which means ‘light, warm and heavy as pure gold’. American choral music has developed a distinctive, luminous quality and genuine appeal that radiates warmth, owing as much to the great Renaissance composers of Europe as it does to mid-twentieth century American composers such as Copland and Barber. Golden Light is part of the Metropolis Festival of American Music being held at the Melbourne Recital Centre during May 2012. |
