COM-motion!

Long before there were night clubs and bands there were courts and madrigal singers. Ensemble singing as sophisticated evening entertainment has a long and substantial history. Both composers and arrangers have delighted in the possibilities presented by close-voice harmony and CoM-motion! offers a madrigal history tour from Henry VIII to the great vocal arrangers and tunesmiths of our own age.

Golden Light

Contemporary American Choral Music

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.
