Martin’s only opera “Der Sturm,” based on Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” was recorded complete for the first time in 2008. Mr. Miller, the director of choral activities at the Westminster Choir College and at Spoleto, recently recorded the Mass on the Westminster Choir College label for release in September. “It’s a tour de force for the chorus, and one of the most virtuosic moments is in the Sanctus,” he said. Martin’s first surviving composition is a children’s song he wrote when he was 9. Martin also concertized as a pianist, harpsichordist and conductor, living in Zurich, Rome and Paris.
