My choral music podcast with Rick Rubin

Here are ninety-seven minutes of me DJing choral music for Rick Rubin, and the two of us discuss each piece.  From many different eras, from Perotin to the current day.

Excerpt from the discussion, this is me speaking:

“If you study 20th-century choral music, you will understand the century artistically and historically in very different terms. We often think of it as a secular or a secular-rising century, but so many of the top composers were deeply religious. They were drawn to religious music and ideas. You hear that most clearly in their choral work. It changes how you view all music and our own history; you will think of music, culture, and religion all tied together much more closely when you study choral music.”

Self-recommending!
