All this week on Classic Drive, Lorcan will feature music from 'Sun Moon Stars Rain' by Phoenix Chorale.
Phoenix Chorale's new release on Signum Classics, Christopher Gabbitas and the Phoenix Chorale present 'Sun Moon Stars Rain’ – a new album of vocal works all linking how these pivotal elements shape our cultures, beliefs, and understanding of the world.
"This enduring fascination speaks to something fundamental in the human experience – a mix of awe at the natural world, a quest for understanding our place within it, and a recognition of our dependence on forces far greater than ourselves. This is nothing new: Shakespeare, Lord Byron, and Octavio Paz are amongst the literary greats who have brought this awe to bear in their poetry and prose and inspired composers Sir John Rutter, Toby Hession and Eric Whitacre in their contributions to this programme"’ – Christopher Gabbitas
