America 250: A Classical Portrait
Choral Showcase celebrates America 250 this week with "Water Music." Voyages by Robert Convery based on the poetry of Hart Crane; Walden Pond by Dominick Argento after Thoreau; and Eric Whitacre's Water Night. And, we'll hear a chorus from the denizens of our watery world in Alan Hovhaness's And God Created Great Whales.
