'America's Choir' began their musical journey in 1847, singing hymns and sacred music, accompanied by the massive Tabernacle organ. These 360 singers, accompanied by an 110-strong orchestra, have in recent years, lent their magnificent sound to recordings of patriotic music, tunes from Broadway musicals and now a musical tribute to master cartoon and movie creator Walt Disney. These 10 songs, from 'When You Wish Upon a Star'/'Hi Diddle-Dee-Dee' medley and 'Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf' to 'Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,' 'A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes' and 'Some Day My Prince Will Come,' are as beautifully arranged and sung as we have every heard them. Listen to 'Whistle While You Work'/Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!' medley, and we are taken back to all the joy and amazement we felt when we first experienced 'Snow White,' Disney's first animated feature. 'Star' is a nostalgic, touching winner from beginning to end! |
