My voice goes after what my eyes cannot reach,
With the twirl of my tongue I encompass worlds and volumes of worlds.
—Walt Whitman, Song of myself (1892)
At the Living Music: Singers’ Edition, we open up our rehearsal room—uncovering the affect and intent behind the notes and between the lines on the page. Curious about new music? Or how we navigate unfamiliar sound worlds? This session is an invitation into our process.
