Salsa rhythms, Brazilian martial arts and a Jewish prayer of
mourning: It's not exactly what you would expect from a classical composer's
setting of the Gospel according to St. Mark. But that's exactly what Argentine
Jewish composer Osvaldo Golijov, a MacArthur "genius," did when he
was asked to write a choral work based on one of the gospels, in a hugely
acclaimed piece that's been presented around the globe, from Rome to Sydney to
Caracas.
