Becker / Jordan- Silence Into Light
With a title inspired by the architecture and writings of Louis I. Kahn, this stunning recording is, according to conductor James Jordan, "really about pieces that are varying musical angles of refracted human light through sound." States Jordan: "This recording project was a deeply emotional journey for me; the same can be said for the choir. The repertoire selections are from my personal musical journey, reflecting works that cast light into me for one reason or another." The repertoire and performances on this emotionally arresting recording are varied, inspiring, and certain to bring more light into the world. The Grammyr nominated Westminster Williamson Voices, named for the founder of Westminster Choir College, John Finley Williamson, has been praised by reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic. A community of singers, the ensemble, founded by James Jordan, has quickly distinguished itself on the international choral stage for it's distinctive artistry, wide palette of choral colors, critically reviewed recordings, educational outreach and it's mission to perform new music. The choir has additionally distinguished itself as a living choral laboratory.
