#2880: Musica Sacra on NS LiveListen to the New Sounds Live recording of Musica Sacra from the World Financial Center's Winter Garden from fall of 2008. They perform two masterworks of 20th century choral music: Morton Feldman’s Rothko Chapel and Arvo Pärt’s Stabat Mater. Both works straddle the border between the secular and the spiritual, the vocal and the instrumental. Harnessing the distinctive cathedral-like properties of the Winter Garden (sans cleaning crew and various other distracting noises), the choir's ethereal sound comes through in this performance.
