SONG OF THE SEA
Concert arrangement of David García Díaz's piece from RiME, performed by award-winning vocal ensemble NOTUS
"The plot of “Rime” is ultimately revealed to be a representation of the stages of grief, with “The Song of the Sea” representing a lost lullaby sung by the parents of a deceased child. While conducting the piece, DiOrio crouched down, as if coaxing the melody out of the parents’ lips."
(Indiana Daily Student)
