America's oldest collegiate men's chorus, the 60-strong Harvard Glee Club, under the storied direction of Jameson Marvin since 1978, celebrates its 150th Anniversary with a live concert. There are 17 cuts here, some of them piano accompanied. Three of them, 'I. The Shepherd of King Admetus,' II. The Voiceless' and III. 'Fata Morgana,' are from Dominick Argento's 'Apollo in Cambridge,' written especially for the Glee Club and premiered here. Other favorites are Michael Praetorius' 'Lo, how a rose e'er blooming,' a pair by Josquin des Prez, 'Kyrie' and 'Agnus Dei I, II, III;' conductor Marvin's 'Cantantes Licet,' Benjamin Britten's 'The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard,' Stephen Foster's 'Gentle Annie,' a very funny rendition of the American Folk song 'Sacramento,' the 18th century Welsh Folk song 'All through the night' and a piano-accompanied medley of traditional 'Harvard Football Songs.' This is a beautiful, spirited, joyous collection from one of America's great collegiate men's choruses, the Harvard Glee Club!
