MoreApproach
From Gregorian chant to the music of the East
His work with choirs grew out of a long curiosity for choral music in all its forms, from Gregorian chant to Persian song. That curiosity also made him a choral composer: Soleils Couchants for six women’s voices and Agnus Dei for eight voices a cappella.
