The Composer’s Prodigious Pen

This week on Going Beyond Words and ACDA Radio, host Stan Schmidt echoes a show he created in January 26, 2014.

The Composer’s Prodigious Pen will help you recall some marvelous choral works by such composers like Heinrich Schütz, Greg Smith, England’s Cecilia McDowall, Stephen Chatman from Canada, Johann Christoph Bach, Pierre Villette of France and Karl Jenkins.  Choirs represented are Elmer Iseler and the Festival Singers plus Canadian Brass; the Pro Musica Chamber Choir from Sweden; England Canterbury Chamber Choir; the Elora Festival Singers; a splendid women’s choir from Sweden; Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor of Stuttgart, the Holst Singers and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain.  This is quite a varied program and should be interesting to the ear.
