Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ, has been combining scholarship and professional training in music for over 60 years, and during that time the mixed, 40-voice Westminster Choir has set the standard for choral excellence. Forming the core of the 200-voice Westminster Symphonic Choir, the Choir has performed with every internationally known conductor in the last 50 years and has performed with the NY Philharmonic alone over 300 times. Internationally recognized conductor Joseph Flummerfelt has directed the Choir since 1979, and arranged several of the songs on this CD. There are 17 classic a cappella tunes, and picking favorites was not easy, as each song hits us right in the nostalgia bone and tugs 2 or 3 heartstrings. 'Danny Boy,' 'Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair,' 'Annie Laurie,' 'Turtle Dove,' 'Old Folks at Home,' Beautiful Dreamer,' 'Loch Lomond,' 'Flow Gently, Sweet Afton,' 'Shenandoah'Éthey're all winners, sung by one of the best choirs of all time. |
