Product description

"Voyages," released on August 23, 2019, by The Crossing and conducted by Donald Nally, is a captivating choral album that delves into the intricate compositions of Robert Convery and Benjamin C.S. Boyle. This 13-track album, spanning 51 minutes, is a testament to the ensemble's prowess in neo-classical and contemporary choral music.

The album is divided into two main sections: the first six tracks are instrumental pieces titled "Voyages: No. 1" through "Voyages: No. 6," composed by Convery. These pieces are followed by the six movements of Convery's "Cantata No. 2, Op. 41," also titled "Voyages." The cantata explores the poetry of Stephen Crane, with each movement delving into a different poem, offering a unique musical interpretation of Crane's vivid imagery and profound themes.

The Crossing, known for their dynamic performances and commitment to contemporary choral music, brings Convery's and Boyle's works to life with stunning precision and emotional depth. The album is a showcase of the ensemble's ability to navigate complex compositions, delivering a performance that is both technically impressive and deeply moving.

"Voyages" is not just an album; it's an experience that invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of sound created by The Crossing. Whether you're a longtime fan of choral music or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, this album offers a compelling journey through the works of two talented composers, performed by one of the most respected ensembles in the field.
