John Adams Harmonium
John Adams’ fierce, propulsive tour de force, Harmonium, has become one of today’s most iconic choral works. Setting poems by John Donne (Negative Love) and Emily Dickinson (Because I could not stop of Death, Wild Nights), it embraces an ocean of feeling, with unparalleled emotional intensity. John Adams calls Harmonium ‘a secular cantata’, and it demands a large and fearless choir.
