Partita for 8 Voices plot

Even before our ancestors hit a tree trunk with a stick or hollowed out a bone to blow on it, they sang. The human voice is the very first musical instrument. And judging by Partita for 8 Voices also the most versatile. The eight members of the Roomful of Teeth ensemble growl, hum, pant, buzz, grind and sing. With rhythmic word sequences or sounds that are blown into space like serpentines, they perform the composition with which composer Caroline Shaw won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 2013.
