Magnificent Works for Double Choir
Joshua Brodbeck, guest organistMusic for double choir broadens the texture and expressive palate of composition and possesses a certain majesty that lovers of the choral art form find irresistible. Such works have been written for 500 years, filling the ears and imaginations of audiences with both celebrative and meditative sounds. The two choirs in this literature create a musical dialogue in which a conversation of choral restatements, contrasts, or even simple echoes provide a satisfying game of aural ping pong.
