I listened to 'em while working yesterday; they make soothing background music, even though I suspect the chorus members would be annoyed to hear me say that.<\/p>\n<p>Last night they did a bunch of stuff by women composers; their conductor seemed shocked and a little outraged that so many women composers aren't well-known parts of the canon.  I can certainly see being unhappy about it, and I'm pleased that the group is doing something about it by performing such works, but it seemed a little naive to be so surprised about it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they did a nice rendition of \"The Word Was God,\" by Rosephayne Powell, which I've heard somewhere before but I'm not sure where.  It was just composed in '96, so I must've heard it fairly recently.  Also some madrigals, and some way cool overtones stuff by Australian composer Sarah Hopkins, and various other nice pieces.  I know nothing about choral music, but even I can tell that this group is good.<\/p>\n<p>I'm clearly trying hard to avoid working, so I'll shut up now.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should mention that the concert last night was very nice.
