University of New Mexico Concert Choir : Fast Falls the Eventide

Review: University of New Mexico Music Professor Brad Ellingboe and the UNM Concert Choir releases "Fast Falls the Eventide," a collection of sacred and familiar songs as well as pieces specially written and arranged for the choir including, "O Esca Viatorum," a 17th century hymn. Ellingboe's original piece, "Be Music, Night," is featured. Voice faculty Jaccqueline Zander-Wall, a mezzo soprano, is featured in the classic, "What a Wonderful World." "The name of the CD comes from the second line in the song 'Abide with Me.' The CD is comprised of gentle music about evening, music and the night. The more hidden meaning is 'abide with me,' or come with me to listen to the UNM choirs," Ellingboe said.

Songlist: Amor De Mi Alma, I Saw a Stranger Yestere'en, Shenandoah, O Esca Viatorum, Water Night, There Will Be Rest, St. Michael Prayer, Abide with Me, Be Music, Night, What a Wonderful World

University of New Mexico Concert Choir : Verdi Requiem

Review: The UNM performers were joined by an Italian guest conductor, Stefano Vignati, and soloists Ilaria De Francesco, soprano; Laura Brioli, mezzo soprano; Gian Luca Pasolini, tenor; and Mirco Palazzi, bass. "We record all our performances for archival purposes, but because of the special guest artists and the combination of the chorus and concert choir, we used eight microphones to capture the event. The sound quality is exceptional, especially for a live performance," Ellingboe said.

Songlist: Requiem et Kyrie, Dies Irae:, -Dies irae, -Tuba mirum, -Liber scriptus, -Quid sum, miser!, -Rex tremendae, -Recordare, -Ingemisco, -Confutatis, -Lacrymosa, CD 2:, Domine Jesu, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, Lux aeterna, Libera me
