New BCM CD
by Alex
Actually it’s been around for a while, but there is a new CD out from BCM international — a group of composers who are sort of a post-punk version of Les Six. I’ve not heard this CD but the last one was fun and is now available for download (check out “Uncle Sid” and “Godzilla Eats Las Vegas”. Seriously). I still think that out of all of the things I’ve ever written my interview with them is one of the best things I’ve ever done. My choir is currently rehearsing Eric’s setting of e.e. cummings’s “i thank you god” and it is really a mind-expanding piece. In fact, I reccomend his Complete Choral Works CD to anyone and everyone who is the least bit interested in choral or 20th century music — it is just that unbelievably good.
