Event Date
From J.S. Bach's motets to living composer Ola Gjeilo, choral composers have utilized the first musical instrument humans had — the human voice — to envision our innermost roots, the soul.
Long before music was sung by a choir,
Long before silver was shaped in the fire,
Long before poets inspired the heart,
You were the Spirit of all that is art.Text from Gjeilo's "Luminous Night of the Soul"
