Item Description

 

…against the dying of the light (2002)  

…against the dying of the light takes the listener on a journey from the depths of despair to the pinnacles of joy, featuring rarely heard virtuoso works for male choir by Carl Orff, Jean Sibelius, Samuel Barber, Josquin Des Pres and Claude Debussy. The newly commissioned “Two Laments on Dylan Thomas” by Kenneth Jennings, Schubert’s haunting “Grab und Mond” and Randall Thompson’s “Alleluia” are saturated with Cantus’ emotionally-charged singing.

New.

 

Item Special Note

Acclaimed as “the premier men’s vocal ensemble in the United States” (Fanfare), Cantus is committed to inspiring audiences with music performed at the highest level. Rehearsing and performing without a conductor or music director, the nine members of Cantus are renowned for adventurous programming spanning many periods and genres, including work commissioned specifically for the group.
