Many composers of choral music, across the centuries, have written their music in novel ways that had never occurred to their predecessors. Oriana brings the choral music of twelve of these innovators to life: Leonel Power, Johannes Ockeghem, Josquin des Prez, Heinrich Schütz, Paul Hindemith, Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Abbie Betinis, Reena Esmail, Iryna Aleksiychuk, and Eric Whitacre.
