Glasgow’s Scottish Voices have just released Music From 3 Continents on Ravello records. Joined by harpists Jacqueline Pollauf and Helen Thomson, they introduce stunning world premieres of works by Virginia composer Bruce Mahin (b. 1957) and Australian composer Graham Hair (b. 1943). This music combines intricate counterpoint with virtuosic bel canto technique and sparkling harp accompaniment. With an enhanced compact disc -- and an ipad app - containing musical scores, photos, biographies and more information about the singers, listeners can get closer to the performers and the music like never before.
MUSIC FROM 3 CONTINENTS presents the choral works of Bruce Mahin and Graham Hair performed by Scottish Voices, harpists Jacqueline Pollauf and Helen Thompson, and clarinetist Alex South. Representing an international collaboration between artists from around the globe, the works on this album draw from various texts and inspirations, uniting to illustrate the connectedness of music and its influence. Included on MUSIC FROM 3 CONTINENTS are Bruce Mahin's Time², three settings of poems by Robert Penn Warren, unified by the nexus of "time passing," and Whitman Psalms, a piece considering the enormity of God and attempting a hypothetical conversation between man and God; and Graham Hair's O Venezia, a progressively accumulating song cycle drawing texts from Venetians and visitors, and Songs from the Turkish, a piece exploring the mysticism of Islam.
This enhanced CD contains multimedia interactive content. Just click on ThreeContinents.exe in the Multimedia Interactive Content folder to access booklet, scores, composers bios etc.
