Quenched
After yesterdays performance of David Lang's "give me," it only makes sense to hear Julia Wolfe's "Thirst" from "Water," with the Ars Nova and Athelas Sinfonietta, both of Copenhagen. The way the chorus and strings bounce around in here is haunting and stirring, like an eastern orthodox rite. Which, of course, makes me think of Part, though Julia tends to give the women more of a voice. Of course.
