Founded by Daniel Hughes in 1996, the 46-strong, mixed-voice Choral Project has gained an excellent reputation for performing high-level choral literature in concerts, interfaith services and choral festivals and invitationals in Northern California and across the country. This is the San Jose, CA-based ensemble's 5th CD, including the critically acclaimed 'Water and Light,' featuring the music of Eric Whitacre. 17 songs, beginning with Stephen Swartz' soaring 'Keramos' and the Ward Swingle-arranged 'De Puta y Taco,' 'One is the All' impressively progresses through a varied and eclectic songlist. Roberto Valera's joyous 'Quisiera,' the brooding, dissonant 'War Song,' the lovely 'So we'll go no more a roving,' Charles Stanford's soaring 'The Bluebird,' Harry Belafonte's dynamic 'Turn the World Around,' Joan Szymcko's 'It Takes A Village,' Jaako Mantyjarvi's spirited 'El Hambo,' and Joshua Shank's dramatic 'Musica animam tangens' are favorites. The poise and vocal maturity of the ensemble, a beautifully arranged and selected songlist and strong direction by Hughes add up to another very special CD from the Choral Project!
