With a catalogue of 49 commercial recordings across major labels — SONY Classical, Bridge, Navona Records, and others — NYVS stands as one of the most recorded professional choirs in the country. The 2013 25 x 25 Project, conceived by Dr. Rosenbaum, celebrated NYVS’s 25th anniversary through commissions from 25 living American composers including 12 Pulitzer Prize winners, earning Album of the Week on WQXR and praise from The New York Times’s Anthony Tommasini.

Where the Shadow Glides

Where the Shadow Glides
Internationally acclaimed composer William McClelland has written a wide variety of music in many styles and forms, but the works in this program have all been inspired by poetry. The choral works evoke the atmosphere of time and place in settings of very early texts, including Catullus’ movingly elegiac lament for his lost brother, These Last Gifts, an experience shared by the composer. The short pieces in Five for Piano all evoke specific poems and, composed over several decades, McClelland’s songs are primarily settings of poetry by American writers that express a mystical, symbolic or visionary view on nature.
