Robert's favourite piece of 20th century choral music is 'Les Cantiques des cantiques' (The Song of Songs) by Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur from 1952. It's a 12-voice tapestry of choral sensualité that takes your breath away. Eamonn and Robert introduce it and ask why it's not more performed.

An 'unknown' French masterwork

Choral Chihuahua is a podcast in which British choral directors chat about things that matter to them: composers they love, points of technique, classic but also niche choral works, other groups and singers they admire. With a light touch, Eamonn Dougan, Robert Hollingworth and now also Nicholas Mulroy chew the choral cud about how (and why) you do it and what they've learnt along the way. Choral Chihuahua is brought to you by I Fagiolini and University of York Music and produced by Polyphonic Films. It's supported through your donations and I Fagiolini Charitable Trust.Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/choral-chihuahua">http://supporter.acast.com/choral-chihuahua</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
