Tyshawn Sorey - Monochromatic Light (Afterlife) (2026) [Hi-Res]

Tyshawn Sorey's "Monochromatic Light (Afterlife)" is a substantial 75-minute score commissioned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rothko Chapel. The work functions as a contemporary dialogue with Mark Rothko's paintings and Morton Feldman's seminal "Rothko Chapel," expanding the original conceptual framework by incorporating a bass-baritone vocal part and elements of African American spiritual heritage. The composition received critical acclaim for its ethereal tonality and emotional resonance, earning a place as a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Featuring distinguished soloists and the Houston Chamber Choir, the performance creates a meditative sonic environment that synthesizes minimalism, modern classical music, and the composer's personal historical reflection.
