Resonance Ensemble presents a "re-composition" of Bach's chorale "Come, Soothing Death," by Edwin London. Performed at "The Witching Hour" concert, October 29, 2010. www.resonancechoral.org
We sang this arrangement in a college choir back in the 80s. I love the dissonance, the ethereal timbres, and the way the piece is never the same twice as each performer moves independent of a meter or steady beat. If I hear this on my deathbed, it will indeed be uplifting, soothing, comforting to know the One who awaits me on the other side--the same One who was waiting for Bach when he himself passed away. Thank you for such a powerful, inspiring performance!
incredible! I've been looking for a performance of Come, Soothing Death for a while now. Saw it a few years ago performed by a chorale in an old cathedral on Halloween. So fitting. Thanks for posting!

nice work folks. good production quality for a live performance.
It is So Beautiful to me. The Hell with the Haters! Do your thing!
THIS... is some mess!!
Some noise! It should B illegal for anyone to be able to "re-compose" another artist's work. Completely compose your own damn piece!
