William Ferris Chorale Part 2

Join host Austin Williams with guest’s Chris Windle (Artistic
Director of Williams Ferris Chorale) and composer Kile Smith as
they break down Kile’s newly commissioned work by the ensemble.
Kile has a lot to say about the fugal nature of his work and how
he approaches this older technique to a modern context. Kile
worked with a unique text that heavily juxtaposes the topics of
life and death.


He explains in the interview how this was a large inspiration for
the use of fugue. A large chunk of the program from this concert
is also featured on this episode. Please enjoy what the William
Ferris Chorale has to offer us and their dedication to new choral
music.
