Scores and Recordings for May 2026 Concert
American’s Bard
Here’s some motivation for learning the America’s Bard repertoire. Like Petition, this concert has many inspiring pieces by numerous great composers, in this case almost all based on the texts of the towering American poet, Walt Whitman. There’s a great version of A Jubilant Song by Norman Della Joio, and the centerpiece of the concert is Jeffrey Van’s A Procession Winding Around Me. Click the image below to hear VOCES8 perform, and Eric Whitacre conduct, his moving All Seems Beautiful to Me. Whitman’s words are sorely needed in today’s world.
