CHORAL: Baird Hershey and Prana (10/10)

By Frank De Blase on October 8, 2008

Mixing Western vocal music with the traditions of Tibet, Mongolia, and India, Prana sings some of the most profound music you will ever hear. It is massive and breathtaking. And though "sing" brings to mind "songs," this music is totally free of conventional interpretation or inference. It is exclusively of hearts and souls. Lead by National Endowment for the Arts composition fellow Baird Hershey, Prana has added its harmonious tapestry to the music of artists like Talking Heads, Dr. John, James Taylor, and Joni Mitchell. Each of the nine members in this a cappella group sings two pitches simultaneously that, when sung together, blend so beautifully and lush, it is virtually impossible to find the note's beginning, middle, or end. It's just there, as if it always has been, and upon hearing it, you'll hope it always will be.
