Rochester’s Madrigalia choir and Artistic Director Cary Ratcliff premiered another Antarctica-inspired choral piece, “Cry.” The words? The ice is crying. The waters will rise with every tear.

When he returned to Western New York from Antarctica, McClure used a mathematical conversion process to turn sound wave data from those seismometers into a piece of music called “Tremble,” which was premiered last year by singers at SUNY Geneseo, conducted by Gerard Floriano.
