Today on In Unison we’re talking with composer and writer Dale Trumbore about choosing texts, blurring the line between the sacred and the secular, and her idea of a perfectly relaxing evening.  We also discuss Choral Chameleon’s newly released recording of Dale’s secular requiem “What Are We Becoming?”
