MusicWatch Weekly: For the record

Sweet Mother of God, the latest In Mulieribus album is good! For a group that boasts “a focus on works written primarily before 1750” (and the Barbara Strozzi concerts to prove it), this Portland-based choir sure sings a lot of new music. Their fifth album, Cycles of Eternity, features eight contemporary composers, among them exangeleno Portlander Craig Kingsbury, Reed College professor John Vergin, and Linfield College professor Andrea Reinkemeyer.
