Songs of Ascension

Album by Meredith Monk

Songs of Ascension is an album by American composer and vocalist Meredith Monk, released in 2011. The work blends contemporary classical and minimalist elements with extended vocal techniques and layered choral textures, and it represents a later-career, large-scale expansion of Monk's long-standing exploration of voice as an instrument within ensemble writing.
