Minneapolis, MN-based National Lutheran Choir is comprised of professional choral musicians drawn from a 200-mile radius of Minneapolis-St. Paul, selected by auditions. Larry Fleming conducts this fine choir on 'Tree' in beautiful sacred classical works like Francis Poulenc's 'Vinea Mea Electa,' Antonio Lotti's 'Crucifixus,' Frantisck Tuma's 'Stabat Mater,' Karl Graun's 'Surely, He Has Bourne Our Griefs,' Josef Rheinberger's 'Dona Nobis Pacem' and the title tune by Paul J. Christiansen, who also did the arrangements for 'Create In Me A Clean Heart, O God.' Rene Clausen's 'Peace I Leave With You' and Felix Mendelssohn's 'See What Love' are also lovely. A wonderful collection by one of America's best choirs! |
