Founded in 1965, the Cincinnati Boychoir is divided into three groups; the Training Choir, Resident Choir, and the elite Touring Choir. Their Christmas CD, 'Gift,' is exactly that! Beginning with Josef Rheinburger's 'Messe in A, Op. 125 and Benjamin Britten's 12-part 'Ceremony of Carols,' we proceed to 5 Christmas Carols, including 'Joy to the World,' the Sicilian hymn 'O Sanctissima,' and 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing.' Then we have 4 'Holiday Songs with the Resident Choir,' 'Riu, Riu, Chiu,' 'Children's Song of the Nativity,' 'Nino Querido' and 'Ding, Dong, Merrily on High; followed by 6 'Holiday Favorites,' which include the German tune 'Kling, Clockchen,' 'The Little Drummer Boy,' 'Toyland' and 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas.' All songs are accompanied by piano, harp and other instruments. As Christmas is about one special child, we particularly love beautiful Christmas music sung by a fine, well-directed children's choir like the Cincinnati Boychoir - it's a Gift!
