More than 2,000 young men have sung with the Club over the years, combing the rich traditions of Notre Dame with the highest standards of artistic excellence.

The group has toured from coast to coast and around the world, performing over one hundred concerts per year. As musical ambassadors of Notre Dame, the Glee Club has always been welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. Each year, the group performs four major concerts: one in the Fall, one at Christmas, one in the Spring, and one for Commencement. Not to mention the fact that the group performs many other smaller concerts including: ND in Revue (Saturday mornings before home ND football games) as well as Singing Valentines and Christmas Caroling at the women's dorms of Saint Mary's College and Notre Dame.

The Notre Dame Glee Club is a music tradition that began at the University in 1915. Since 1993, Daniel Stowe has led the Glee Club in world-wide tours with great success. Today, Glee Club repertoire is not just football songs, sea shanties and the alma mater theme. In recent years, the choir has been trimmed in numbers to 55 select singers, and their repertoire now focuses upon a wider range of styles: from German art songs, American spirituals, Russian Orthodox, Baroque and Renaissance sacred music, to Barbershop harmony and folk music from nations of the world. The Glee Club's versatility is showcased in the wide variety of genres on this disc.. The musicianship of the Glee Club is all the more remarkable when considering that the Glee Club is a volunteer ensemble, operating independently from music degree programs. Recorded in spring 2007, in the finely-tuned acoustic of Leighton Concert Hall in the newly-finished DiBartolo Performing Arts Center on the campus of University of Notre Dame.
