Malcolm Dalglish is a choral composer and director who presents
programs of original folk choir and dulcimer music, stories, mime,
rhyme, rhythm, and song. He is the founding member of the
folk/Celtic trio Metamora, based in Bloomington, Indiana. His
specialty is composing for choir. Childrens choirs throughout the
world have commissioned his folk-inspired music.
The
Great Divide explores American music beyond the acoustic boundaries of folk and bluegrass. By using the traditional instruments of bluegrass and intricate three-part vocal harmonies, they've developed a distinctive sound that blends rock, jazz, bluegrass, country, swing, folk, old-timey, and gospel.
