Premiered by WQXR’s Q2, who wrote:
“Last April, composer Caroline Shaw became the youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for her Partita – an a cappella composition written for the vocal octet Roomful of Teeth. Drawing on Baroque dance forms, contemporary vocal music and the drawings of artist Sol LeWitt, the music illuminates a powerful new voice of independent and contemporary classical music. Each Wednesday for eight weeks, New Amsterdam Records – the home of Roomful of Teeth’s self-titled debut – is releasing a new remix of Partita from a luminary of New York’s new-music scene. The remixes commemorate the label’s five-year anniversary and appear exclusively on Q2 Music.”
