This week I'll go with a more modern composer, Gyorgy Ligeti. His music appears in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Specifically the parts with the apes and the travel scene at the end.
Now, you can hear his "Nonsense Madrigals," an amazing set of short a cappella choral pieces.
My first exposure to this was a live performance of the King Singers at BYU back in 1993. They performed "The Alphabet" (which starts at 3:46). That performance blew me away and stuck with me all these years. I hope you enjoy this recording ...
