UofM Imagine New Music Festival

Tonight I went to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception for the 3rd concert in this series (see page 9 of this pdf). Tonight's presentation included 4 works by Arvo Pärt:

Which was the Son of ....

Mein Weg

Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten

Te Deum for chorus and orchestra

My favorite was Which was the Son of... I couldn't find a video of the University Singers doing it, so I'm embedding this one instead:


4/1/2009: Thanks to The Daughter who sent me a link to this short film showing Arvo Part offering his "guidance to the Voices of Europe youth choir in Iceland during the rehearsals of his composition "Which was the son..."."
