All Is Miracle:
The Choral Music of Kyle Pederson
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle” (attributed to Albert Einstein). This powerful perspective encourages us to look at the world through wonder-tinted lenses — seeing both the magnificent and seemingly mundane coursing with sacred energy. This theme is threaded throughout ALL IS MIRACLE, a stunning collaboration between the award-winning vocal ensemble Transept and acclaimed composer Kyle Pederson.
The album combines re-imaginings of iconic hymns, newly crafted genre-bending works, four world premieres, a mix of ancient and newly crafted texts, and unique instrumentation and textures — all working together to create an immersive, spiritual experience for listeners. ALL IS MIRACLE explores a universe pulsing with spirit and creativity, inviting listeners into a journey of wonder and gratitude.
