Antioch Chamber Ensemble Copeland - In Praise of Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Robert Kyr is one of the most prolific composers of his time, having composed twelve symphonies, three chamber symphonies, concerti, and more than 100 works for vocal ensembles of all types. His choral music is distinguished by a warmly compelling lyricism, as well as by a contrapuntal mastery that arises from his love of early music, especially the work of Dufay, Josquin Des Prez, and above all, Bach. The ten beautiful choral works on this recording reflect the arc of Kyr's music over the past twenty years, the titles acutely illustrative of the composer's spiritual interests InchIn Praise of MusicInch, InchO Great SpiritInch, InchVeni Creator SpiritusInch, InchSanta Fe VespersInch, InchDawnsongInch, InchVoices for PeaceInch, InchFreedom SongInch InchAlleluia for Peace.Inch
