Last weekend we had the privilege of recording a series of concerts and rehearsals for Kantorei, one of the premier choral ensembles in the country. The concert entitled “Echoes: Chant & Beyond” included classic works from the choral repertoire, such as “Miserere Mei Deus” by Gregorio Allegri, and took full advantage of the reverberant acoustics at both Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church and Bethany Lutheran Church in Denver. Concertgoers were treated to a true surround sound experience in both of these venues.

Of particular interest at this concert was a new work by Norwegian composer Kim Andre Arnesen. Kantorei has recently named Arnesen as its Composer in Residence for its 2015-2016 season, and performed the USA premiere of “O Sacrum Convivium” in this concert series.

Here’s a snippet of the piece – we hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and we look forward to hearing more!
