"The Unknown Masterpiece" from St. Martin's Chamber Choir is comprised of world premieres performed at live concerts. This is the sixth CD the group has produced, and the first consisting of live performances.
The first half includes the "Mass for Double Choir," written by Colorado composer Terry Schlenker. Acclaimed when premiered at St. Martin's June, 2004 concerts, the piece is being called the "first great Mass setting of the 21st century".
Also included is the the premiere recording of Minneapolis composer Craig Carnahan's "A Cradle Song". The other premiere works on the CD include compositions by Robert S. Cohen; Philip, Lord Rea of Eskdale; Janet Vanden Bosch; and Timothy Krueger.
This is the first CD underwritten by the Mark Sheldon Fund, in memory of beloved St. Martin's former singer, assistant conductor, and Colorado Public Radio announcer Mark Sheldon. "I think Mark would have approved wholeheartedly of the content of this CD," said director Timothy J. Krueger. "His voice is on several of the CD's selections, and he was passionately committed to the future of choral music. That's what this CD is all about, with its emphasis on newly composed music - the future."
