EMM 49: This Marriage: Music and Poetry (Pt. 1) | Eric Whitacre & Tony Silvestri

We get to sit down with one of choral music's great composer/poet duo's, Eric Whitacre and Tony Silvestri to discuss a few of their most popular collaborations: Lux Arumque, Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, Sainte-Chapelle, and Sacred Veil. We discuss text, meaning, musical elements, and this marriage of old and new to create something novel and great. http://soundofageschoir.comhttps://ericwhitacre.com/https://www.charlesanthonysilvestri.com/

Om Podcasten

Once understood at even a surface level, early music has the power to transform how all music is heard and felt. Discussions and interviews about a wide range of topics within the choral art and how those principles can help conductors, singers, and audience members have a deeper appreciation for historical music. We aim to connect the fundamental elements of early music to the music of more contemporary times to illustrate the relevance early music still holds. Guests include Owain Park, Carolann Buff, Peter Schubert, Eric Whitacre, Tony Silvestri, Nigel Short, Chris Gabbitas, and many more.
