I've sung in community choruses and church choirs all my life, so I am grateful Choral Fixations delivers such a wide variety of choral music from across the centuries. But there's a gap in your programming. I've yet to hear some of the American masterworks I've had the joy to perform: Dello Joio's A Jubilant Song; Howard Hanson's One Hundred Fiftieth Psalm; Randall Thompson's Glory to God in the Highest for starters. These and six other choral works are on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's out-of-print recording "A Jubilant Song." I still have my Columbia LP from 1976. I'm sure all your listeners would enjoy hearing this treasure!
First Sunday I got to listen to the whole program -- wonderful mix. Howell's "Requiem" is terrific -- but so is Easley's "Magnificat" -- thanks for a great blend.
Also noticed the "ad" on the webpage for the Collegiate Chorale -- and their new Music Director, James Bagwell. They are very fortunate -- he is a fabulous choral director!!
Off to a concert now -- :-) WISH I COULD LISTEN IN MY CAR ON THE WAY OVER TO THE VENUE! hint, hint!
