Cantus
programming at its finest represents a great mix of styles
and influences. On “Cantus” we’ve decided
to showcase this variety on one recording. We’ve included
a new commission from Lee Hoiby and paired it with a popular
song by Billy Joel. We’ve included early 20th century
Russian sacred music next to early 21st century American
sacred music. We have two show-stoppers - a Smokey Robinson
tune and a spiritual that has a splash of gospel. And preceding
a semi-theatrical setting of “Casey at the Bat” we
sing an amusing faux-Finnish piece. The programming keeps
you listening from beginning to end, just like it does in
a live concert.

| Comfort
and Joy: Volume Two (2005) |
| |
|
 |
Conceived
as a whole, Comfort and Joy tells the Christmas story from two
different perspectives and two separate attitudes; the music of
volume one embodies the feeling of Christmas comfort, while volume
two’s repertoire focuses on Yuletide joy. To tell the Christmas
story in song, Comfort and Joy: Volume Two highlights
Cantus’ diverse repertoire and focuses on music from around
the world. Standout tracks include Babatunde Olatunji’s
“Betelehemu,” Ariel Ramirez’ “Los Reyes
Magos” and a 5/4 jazz arrangement of “Deck the Halls.”
This recording is digitally recorded, edited and
mastered in 24-bit sound. |
