The Wild Swans at Coole - Yale Glee Club New Classic Choral Series

American composer and conductor, Theodore Morrison, has set this lovely William Butler Yeats' poem filled with Irish musical quotes. As an opera composer, Morrison has a strong grasp on the emotional impact made possible through programmatic music and he uses this in effective ways in this piece. The virtuosic nature of the horn part and advanced choral music require an accomplished ensemble, but the results will be impressive!
