TWC is now available on iTunes!
Today we’re thrilled to share with you our world premiere audio recording of Damien Geter’s “Cantata for a More Hopeful Tomorrow,”
<https://thewashingtonchorus.org/cantata-for-a-more-hopeful-tomorrow?utm_source=GENERAL&utm_campaign=22d8ee9fda-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_13_03_51_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_247639429f-22d8ee9fda-123937028>, which we premiered as a new short film this past November:
“Cantata for a More Hopeful Tomorrow”
is simply beautiful music: this is a poignant recording of an
emotionally rich new work, taking inspiration from sources like the
music of Bach and African-American spirituals as a meditation on loss,
perseverance, resolve, and hope.
Another reason this project is unique: TWC is among the first choirs in the county to release a recording that
was executed 100% remotely – all our TWC choral singers recorded the
choral parts from their homes during COVID-19 quarantine lockdowns
across the globe! Our guest soloists, MetOpera soprano Aundi Marie Moore and cellist Seth
Parker Woods, also recorded their achingly beautiful contributions
remotely from their homes, and then TWC Artistic Director Eugene Rogers
worked closely with our friends at One Sample Media on editing, mixing,
mastering, and production to achieve a recording of quality that we
believe you’ll find to be beautiful, personal, and meaningful to hear
and experience.
We hope you find meaning and an emotional resonance in our recording of this work. You can also stream TWC’s recording of “Cantata” starting today on Spotify, iHeart Radio, Pandora, Amazon Music, Sirius XM, and YouTube. Sending all good thoughts, Your friends at The Washington Chorus PS We love this quote from composer Damien Geter on his inspiration to compose the “Cantata” for The Washington Chorus: “Even though things may seem tough in the present moment, there is a light that shines towards the future.” |
