sonorous

There are indelible voices in entertainment, and there is James Earl Jones’ baritone, variously described as sonorous, commanding, and booming.

Stylistic innovations, relative to the Burnsean oeuvre, are promised, including split screen images; sounds and pictures from the future Da Vinci anticipated; a score by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, performed by contemporary ensembles Attacca Quartet, Sō Percussion and Roomful of Teeth; and sonorous Keith David stepping in for tumbleweed-dry Peter Coyote as narrator.

Mr. Pigg’s deep, sonorous voice was also a staple of television.

It’s startlingly similar to what happens when he stands on opera stages — all 6 feet, 5 inches of him — and bellows in his sonorous bass-baritone; you are irrevocably drawn in.

He blew through it, and what came out was sonorous and weird.
