Many of today's leading composers have been attracted to writing choral music, attracted by its sheer popularity, wide variety of potential styles, and the warm, full timbres the medium is known for. On this edition of New Sounds, host John Schaefer presents choral works by Zbigniew Preisner, Arvo Pärt, John Tavener, Steven Sametz, Henryk Gorecki, and others.
