Album Description
A beautiful tribute to a great American musician. Folk songs, spirituals, and ballads popularized by Norman Luboff Choir, performed lovingly by some who toured and performed with him for more than a decade.
What a joy this CD is for Jackson and me! It allows us to celebrate Norman's universal influence and to share some of his greatness as musician.
I met Norman at a Choral Associates Workshop, a week-long educational feast introducing the writer behind those fabulous choral arrangements. I auditioned for him, met Jackson, and entered a beautiful world intertwined with impeccable musicianship, personal inspiration, friendship, and deep affection. The circle of musicians with whom I have come into contact since that week in June 1973 continues to nourish my musical soul today. So many of my life's connections were established that week, including meeting Jackson's touring friend, tenor-percussionist and then budding composer Chip Davis. The thread binding us and igniting a strong influence of excellence is Norman Luboff.
Norman's arrangements are exemplary of his genius. His appreciation for folk music is evidenced by his sincere and respectful treatment of each melody. Texts literally come alive with his nuance on important words, sensitive rubato, and expansive harmonizations. He always implored singers to sing folk or popular songs in the vernacular, as they are spoken.
Norman would enjoy the Cantorum's wonderful singing -- their robust voices, their natural sentimentality toward the lyrics, and the depth of their passion. These are the kinds of musicians that Norman engaged: fascinating singers with great voices, differing vocal timbre and energies. The fantastic mix of solo voices comfortable in both the popular and classical worlds contributes to the unique Luboff choral sound.

Norman Luboff Remembered.......2007-01-10
A very poor recording,almost amateurish. The voices seem to be adequate but the recording is so poor it is difficult to tell. This recording goes into my "I heard it once and that's enough" pile. The purchase was a mistake.
Please, more Choir, less Instruments!.......2005-06-08
I agree with the first reviewer. At age 56, I heard these guys live, and the arrangements were sublime. The vocals were amazing. Here, the instruments almost drown out the choir! Perhaps the pianist and bass player were relatives of the producer?? I would recommend almost any other Luboff CD over this one, even the ones reproduced with pops and hisses from the LP.
"Colorado Trail" is OK. "Shenandoah", one of the Choir's signature songs, is totally messed up.
Very disappointing, I'm sorry.
"A" FOR EFFORT.......2004-06-28
As a Norman Luboff Choir fan, I was extremely pleased to hear that a modern high fidelity remake was available of some of Mr. Luboff's works. Thank you to Mr. Berkey for resurrecting Mr. Luboff. I hope more discs are in the works or planned without the following shortcoming.
Unfortunately, the disc was disappointing because of what may appear to some to be a silly reason but not to me. The recording engineer probably did everything right except establish the presence of the choir relative to the instruments. Listen to a Norman Luboff Choir vinyl album or re-release on CD to hear what I mean.
In the original records, the choir is acoustically featured while in this CD, it's just another choir with equal emphasis placed on the orchestra. I hope that in future releases if any, the producer demands the same emphasis be placed on the choir voices as was originally applied in the recordings. After all, it is the Norman Luboff Choir voices I want to hear.
Norman.......2003-05-16
...I want to thank Almeda and Jackson Berkey for helping to keep Norman's legacy alive and Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum is wonderful.
The choir is superb.......2003-03-20
This CD is a Nebraska product, and a fine one it is! The director of the choir, Almeda Berkey, has combined with her husband, composer and professional pianist, Jackson, to produce this nostalgic look at the wonderful arrangements of their former mentor and employer, Norman Luboff. The liner notes in the accompanying booklet tell of the surprising association of Omaha's Chip Davis as a singer in the Luboff choir, along with Almeda. The choir is superb, well balanced, displaying beautiful voices and a thoroughly professional sound equal to that any of the Luboff choirs on the twelve LPs this author owns...Good variety in programming is a plus, as folk songs, pop songs, folk hymns and spirituals are all presented. Congratulations to the Berkeys, Recording Engineer Clete Baker and all involved on a first-rate recording!"

Customer Reviews:
Should be 10 stars.......2007-02-08
What is there to be said that the reviewers below have not already. As a trombonist, this is one of a handful of recordings that brings me to my knees. Fabulous playing, fabulous tone, fabulous intonation - Joe Alessi is world class. This is my favorite of his CD's, and I own them all. Trombone players: This is an essential recording.
Joseph Alessi.......2006-07-02
This record is mislabeled: it is really music played by Joseph Alessi, the principal trombonist of the New York Philharmonic. You should fix that. Joe Alessi's playing is a whole level above that of any other trombonist playing now or in the past. He is the first player of his instrument to deserve to be referred to as a major artist.
The Ideal Trombone Sound.......1999-09-13
Young trombonists everywhere - in my opinion, this is how a trombone should sound. Mr. Alessi has the perfect sound, the sound that every serious trombonist aims for. Though the C.D. doesn't boast a variety of music (it's predominantly 20th century American), it is all fantastic music, the best of its kind. The last track is amazing, five of the greatest trombonists around, all playing together, it's outstanding. Serious trombone students, this is a good addition to your C.D. collection. This is the sound to aim for.
