"I think more and more we need a language which doesn't require translation"
-John Cage

The human voice and the various sounds it is capable of producing is precisely this language which requires no translation. The idea behind this Transfigured Night is to explore this universally comprehensible language by focusing on pieces for the voice from a broad spectrum of styles from fairly recent decades.
