Christopher Tin conducts his choral work 'Waloyo Yamoni (We Overcome the Wind)'
The climactic finale to his song cycle 'The Drop That Contained the Sea'. From the European premiere of 'The Drop that Contained the Sea' at 'The Music of Christopher Tin' concert, Cadogan Hall, London, July 19, 2016. Performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and featuring the Angel City Chorale, Prima Vocal Ensemble, and Lucis choirs. Soloists: Jimmer Bolden, Allie McNay. Commissioned by the Orchestra at St. Matthews, Pacific Palisades, CA. Sung in Lango, lyrics from a rainmaking litany.
Available to listen on all streaming and digital services. Vinyl for the original studio album (featuring the GRAMMY-winning Soweto Gospel Choir) is available at https://christophertin.com/store.html.
How marvelous, Leanna! I've never heard this piece before (or heard of it, actually) so thanks for posting it. And what a percussion section in the orchestra! Even a Japanese taiko drum, although it wasn't used in this particular movement.
🤩👏 What a beautiful work of art! After last week's fabricated controversy over Bad Bunny, I literally weep for children (and adults) who will never hear this because it isn't in English and has a severe lack of steel guitars and twang (not that there's anything wrong with that)!!
Thanks to you, Leanna, I now know that the Lango language and tribes exist...as does Christopher Tin! 🥰
