American Music Sampler
featuring Douglas Heist
Explore music of 20th century America: Composers Copland and Barber have a distinct American voice. Glass and Reich are so-called "minimalists" who changed the musical language. Torke and Dougherty bring an energetic electicism to American music."
20th Century Choral Masterworks
