René Clausen’s impressionistic La Lumiére (The Light) is a wonderful, sensual experience in tone color and texture. As the poet’s spiritual perception changes, he views his visual landscape in a new light. In much the same way, Clausen transforms the listener’s aural landscape with layer upon layer of changing harmony and musical texture. Written for a cappella choir with divisi in each voice part, this modern impressionistic choral will showcase the talents of the most discerning ensemble. The demo recording included here is by The Concordia Choir, René Clausen, conductor.
