3. Black Mountain Songs is the debut album from the Grammy-Award winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus, release date March 31, 2017. The Brooklyn Youth Chorus performs music composed by Bryce Dessner, Richard Reed Parry, Caroline Shaw, Jherek Bischoff, John King, Nico Muhly, Aleksandra Vrebalov, and a collaboration between Dessner and Tim Hecker. This expansive choral work celebrates and rekindles the utopian spirit of Black Mountain College, where iconic artists including Willem de Kooning, John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Merce Cunningham, Josef and Anni Albers, Franz Kline, and Robert Rauschenberg converged and collaborated in the mid 20th century... Most of the words featured come from poems and texts from the Black Mountain faculty or students, including John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Josef and Anni Albers, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Buckminster Fuller, Robert Ducan, Fielding Dawson, Ruth Asawa, Basil King, and MC Richards.
