Aaron Copland - In The Beginning

I'd never heard this setting of the first part of Genesis before and was a bit surprised to find that Copland had set it.  It is not one of his best known or more performed works, not least of which because it's quite a hard one.  The performers at Concordia handled it about as well as could be imagined, the chorus performing from memory.  It's the kind of thing you hear and wish you'd been there.
