The British vocal ensemble VOCES8 has released an album of music "reminiscent of rolling hills, green valleys, rugged mountainsides, and sleepy villages." It features reimagined pieces that were originally written for film or television, as well as new arrangements of Scottish and Irish melodies, and compositions set to texts by great English poets.
I recently sat down with their Artistic Director Barnaby Smith to discuss the ensemble's diverse repertoire and their extensive music education efforts. I hope you enjoy our chat!
Yours in good music,
Mike Goldberg Classical Music Host, VPM Music
