Recorded in Boston, August 2024, with pianist Tanya Blaich.
Poetry, the great conveyor of emotion, is the perfect match for the expressiveness of music. Composer and tenor Gregory Zavracky epitomizes this pairing with CHANT IN A WAIL, a collection of four song cycles for voice and piano. Joined by mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy, baritone Jesse Blumberg, soprano Deborah Selig, and pianist Tanya Blaich, Zavracky gives sonic life to written words about resilience, bravery, perseverance, and melancholy, adding the transformative poignancy of music to scenes and philosophies of the human experience.
