This recording features choral works by some of the great American composers. The Corydon Singers, led by Matthew Best sing Leonard Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms,' Aaron Copland's 'In the Beginning' and three motets and Samuel Barber's 'Agnus Dei.' The 'Chichester Psalms,' originally orchestrated, are accompanied by organ, harp and percussion with boy soprano Dominic Martelli. Copland's 'In the Beginning' for soprano solo and unaccompanied chorus features mezzo-soprano Catherine Denley. Barber's 'Agnus Dei' is a choral arrangement of his much loved 'Adagio for Strings.' The music on this recording is beautifully sung by a great choir.
