Directed by Derric Johnson
As directed by Derric Johnson, his Vocal Orchestra sings twenty-five hymns, from the classic ('Amazing Grace,' 'The Lord's Prayer'), the traditional ('Ezekiel Saw The Wheel,' 'Go Tell It On The Mountain,' 'Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho') to the lesser-known ('I Just Feel Like Something Good Is About To Happen' and 'Ivory Palaces'). Each inspirational rendering is beautifully and sensitively performed by this mixed ensemble. The vocal quality and tonal purity is ideal, and the group also knows when to dramatize a reading, as they do on 'Shadrach,' in a dazzling exhibition of showmanship. The arrangements are multi-textured and bold, but not pretentious or excessive. The group appears regularly as 'Voices Of Liberty' at Disney World, and their professionalism is apparent.
