Skylark is a chamber choir consisting of professional musicians from across the United States. The group also performs educational programs for students across the nation.

REVIEW:

All the music is concise, in the manner of utterances made or heard on a deathbed; the longest work clocking in at just over nine minutes. This is new music, put together in a new way, beautifully sung and recorded. In short, it's fabulous for listeners looking for a place to start with contemporary choral music, downbeat subject matter or not.
