Voices, written in memory of Fenno Heath (1926-2008) who served as the conductor of the Yale Glee Club for almost 40 years, is based on a poem by Greek poet Cavafy, best known for his poetic recreations of classic images of ancient Greece. This moving a cappella work uses both Greek (IPA pronunciation provided) and English texts. Duration: ca. 5:00. Performed by Yale Glee Club, Jeffrey Douma, conductor.

Composer: Eric Banks

Zephyr Rounds was the winner of the 2007 Yale Glee Club Emerging Composers Competition. The asymmetry of the 13/8 time signature creates a bustling feeling of perpetual motion, blossoming into a thick texture of contrapuntal exchanges and melodic hocket between voices. The result is an infectious rhythmic energy unusual in a piece for a cappella chorus. Duration: ca. 5:50.

Arranger: Robert Vuichard
