THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER: Roomful of Teeth redefines choral music
BY DAVID PATRICK STEARNS
“Later in the concert, Michael Harrison's Just Constellations explored the opposite of reckless heterogeneity. Influenced by seminal minimalist La Monte Young, the music isn't repetitive so much as it settles onto a single chord and evolves so subtly it's like watching a landscape in changing light. Just when one fears Roomful of Teeth's ability to do most anything could prompt mere novelty, a concentrated piece like this with tight, difficult-to-tune chords shows how extraordinary these singers are.”
