Coro Los Peñascales Sings “The Lamb” by John Travener

Madrid, SPAIN - This gorgeous piece begins with a reading in Spanish of Willian Blake’s poem, “The Lamb,” followed by a choral rendition of the poem by British composer John Travener, who died in 2013. The piece was recorded individually by the choir members of Coro Los Peñascales from home and sent to conductor Marcelo Gándaras to create this video. Initially, the videos were made to send support to a colleague who was hospitalized due to COVID-19, now recovered. Then they continued recording the pieces, including the most difficult of all, "The Lamb" by John Travener.

From the submission by the company:
