The Canticle of Spring
March 20th is the debut performance of the Canticle of Spring.
It will be held at the Bell Foundry in Baltimore, Maryland, and will also serve as the release party for my new CD, “The Cute Album”.
The Canticle of Spring is an 18 minute choral work for 4 vocalists and synthesizers. Four loudspeakers are placed in each corner of the room with a vocalist between them, surrounding the audience. The synths and vocal parts are arranged to simulate motion and to emphasize different sides and corners of the room. Here’s a graphical representation:
The work itself is hymnal and reminiscent of gregorian chant. It is sung in the ceremonial language Za Sa. I’m really excited about putting this on. Also performing this evening will be Andrew Bernstein, Jenny Graf, and Which Birds.
March 20th, 9 PM. At the Bell Foundry, Baltimore, Maryland. $3.
