Program Notes:
In Colors the chorus deconstructs the sounds of a single word, illustrating the sentiment of the words: "The colors of my soul are alive in my mind - running, playing, jumping, falling, scrambling, playing, bumping, blending - like a kaleidoscope".
Live electronic manipulation is quite simple and can be perfomed by 1 or 2 chorus members
The Young People's Chorus invites youth choruses nationwide to premiere a Radio Radiance piece of their choice in their local areas.
