Eugene, OR's Motet Singers, founded in 1982 as a vocal sight-reading group under Hannelore Good, grew from friends who sang together for enjoyment to the fine 10-woman ensemble it is today. Unique for their pure sound, seamless harmonic blend and eclectic repertoire, the group sings a cappella music from classical, folk and popular genres, ranging from medieval to contemporary. 'After' has 21 vocal gems, ranging from John David's bright 'You Are the New Day,' Weelkes' 'To Shorten Winter's Sadness' and the Kirby Shaw-arranged 'Java Jive' and 'My Funny Valentine' to the sacred 'O Sacrum Convivium' and 'Jesu Dulcis.' The traditional spirituals 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' and 'Down By The Riverside' segue easily into Billy Joel's classic 'And So It Goes.' Some light percussion accompaniment; beautiful liner notes have all the lyrics. 'After' is a fine, confident collection from a very talented ensemble. |
