Listen to Shades Of Blue: Choral Music Of Mark Van Overmeire

The Grammy Nominated Skylark Vocal Ensemble treat us to the choral music Mark Van Overmeire, where world premiere recordings comprise the engaging listening experience.

“Hereafter Am I” occupies the first 3 segments, as the harmonizing voices radiate tremendous beauty and expressiveness in a climate that explores generational influence and belonging.

The back half belongs to the vulnerable “Between The Shadows”, where much emotion, warmth and intimacy is present and appreciated across songs that surround finding the strength to overcome doubt. Deeper into the chapters, a sense of empowerment is instilled, as the voices are layered with much precision and power.

The music and lyrics by Overmeire are handled with the utmost care, as the ensemble make every note sung as memorable and impactful as the one before it.

Travels well with: Skylark- Clear Voices In The Dark; The Crossing- Tower And The Garden
