"...pure tone and assured pitch. This is accomplished work, given just the kind of rich resonance the music needs."

Listening to this CD literally transports your soul. The rich harmonies, the 12 part textures and the beauty of the soaring soprano and rich bass lines gives the listener a true treat. A must have for your choral collection.
