Cantus Recordings
Comfort and Joy: Volume Two (2005)
“These
performances and arrangements are as exuberant and dynamic as you will
hear from any group.”
- Classics Today
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.
