THE SONGS REMAINWhat happens when one of the world’s finest choirs sings music crafted precisely for their voices? The answer is THE SONGS REMAIN, the Portland State Chamber Choir’s luminous new album celebrating its 50th anniversary season. These tailor-made arrangements reveal soundscapes that shimmer between the gravitas of classical tradition and the immediacy of popular song—celestial, ethereal, and utterly sublime.
Many of the works on THE SONGS REMAIN were arranged by members of the chamber choir, and that intimacy is unmistakable. The result is a rare fusion of artistry and authenticity: technical brilliance wedded to a deep personal connection between singers and song. Such a synthesis is almost unheard of in an ensemble of this size, and the effect is nothing short of breathtaking. |
