One of the professional services offered by Boston-based, mixed voice American Repertory Singers is the recording of scores to accompany the distribution of publishers new issues. All the music on this disc was written in the last two decades of the 20th century, and it is a representative sampling of some of the best contemporary sacred music by America's choral composers who have written for all denominations of Christian churches. 21 cuts, some are accompanied. 'Sounding Joy,' an dramatic 8-minute arrangement of the spiritual 'Steal Away to Jesus' with trumpets, a couple of nice pieces by Richard DeLong, 'O Lord, Increase Our Faith' and 'There is a Country,' and three compositions by Leo Nestor, 'And Peace at the Last,' 'To Rise Beyond the Stars' and 'Who Is She Ascends So High?' Five 'Little Prayers' by Daron Aric Hagen, 3 by Frank Ferko, 'I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me,' 'I Will Give Thanks to You, O Lord' and 'O Gracious Light,' 2 by Jane Marshall, 'Of Hospitality' and 'Song of Simeon,' and Daniel Pinkham's 'A Sermon on Wisdom'-this is all beautifully performed, hard-to-find contemporary sacred music by one of the best Contemporary Christian ensembles.
