It was an "O my God" moment for me in the middle of a choral work . . . . a chord so rich and vibrant that it took my breath away. It was sung by the superb Millikin University Choir and composed by Alfred Schnittke. I had heard of composer but had never heard his work. The incredible chord came from Movement IV of Schnittke's Choral Concerto and was entitled "Complete This Work."
I MUST find that music. Who publishes Edition Sikorski 825? Take my money, now!
If you missed the performance, buy the recording. It was a choir to be lauded and music to be praised. And sung . . . again and again.
