For Nine Male Voices And Orchestra-Luminous Body is a collaboration between Nico Muhly and Craig Lucas written in the period immediately following their narratively charged opera 'Two Boys'. Luminous Body is as a result abstract and poetic in gesture and form. The text interpolates among other things stylized versions of the teachings of Christ Buddha Mohammed and Plato; these are scrambled and re-contextualized and in a sense serve as background for the textures of the combination of nine male Voices and Orchestra.Part 1 introduces the chord structure that governs the entire piece and ends with the repeated words ?only your will is your own.?The second and third parts loosely dealing with the Devil and the importance of choosing one?s words are based on drones generated by the Voices and the strings; the constant (but slightly morphing) texture is meant to be meditative and vague. Muhly always wanted to set the Beatitudes and Craig paraphrased them beautifully here; the tenors intone the word ?blessed? over and over while the strings and winds reiterate the passacaglia from the opening of the piece. The fifth and final part is a series of proverbs. The Orchestra begins in a series of loose ecstatic drones which increase in intensity (?Make your own family!?) until you jump suddenly to the garden of Gethsemane where Christ was betrayed while his disciples slept. ?Why are you sleeping? Couldn?t you stay awake for one more hour?? he asks while the strings and winds lazily chant in the background.Luminous Body was premiered by The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Cantus.

This was commissioned by the Norfolk and Norwich Triennial Music Festival in 1964. It was first performed by the Festival Choir and Orchestra conducted by Charles Mackerras.

A l'aube du XXIe siècle, garçons et filles de la Réunion vivent leur jeunesse dans la diversité des races auxquelles ils appartiennent.

Si la vie quotidienne leur paraît simple, ils n'en demeurent pas moins hésitants devant les moments importants de leur existence. Et l'origine raciale pèse encore lourd sur leur destinée. C'est dans ce climat et à travers leur vie scolaire que les collégiens affirment leur fraternité et regardent éclore avec sympathie l'amour entre Franck, jeune métis et Stella, la gauloise blonde.
