Continuing in the series of Cuban recorded Ansonica Records projects comes Coro Del Mundo - choir of the world. With tracks ranging from sacred to secular, and from delicate to aggressive, the surprising cohesiveness of the composers' work is astonishingly beautiful and impassioned. Schola Cantorum Coralina and Vocal Luna contribute exquisite vocals to the proceedings. L Peter Deutsch's Dance to the Revolution, takes inspiration from the writing of Emma Goldman. The composer explains, Inchwhat drew me to her writing was her inclusion of interpersonal relationships, not only political or economic ones, in the vision of ideal society.Inch Deutch's Where Everything is Music transports the listener to Havana. Conrado Monier's Gozando's en La Habana received mention in the Choral Music Contest sponsored by the Cuban Agency of Musical Copyright and the Cuban Music Institute. Monier's second composition on Coro Del Mundo, Gozando en La Habana, is an a capella tour de force effortlessly conjuring up the sights and sounds of the City of Columns. Cuban composer and conductor Guido López-Gavilán's Qué Rico É! is a shimmering choral mambo that leaves the listener breathless. Vocal Luna's contribution to Coro Del Mundo is profound. On Cemento Ladrillo y Arena, Murmullo, and Silencio their voices range from brassy brilliance to delicate, angelic whispers. Nowhere is this more apparent than their performance of Cynthia Folio's four-part piece At the Edge of Great Quiet. J.A. Kawarsky's Sacred Rights, Sacred Song also shines with Vocal Luna's participation.

![The Dixie Dregs - Free Fall / What If / Night Of The Living Dregs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d8cb4817-3abd-4e97-bea4-8fc03fd127fd.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The band's three Capricorn Records albums, dating from 1977, 1978 and 1979. 'What If' and 'Night Of The Living Dregs' both made the US Top 200 Albums chart. Guitarist Steve Morse led the rock/jazz instrumental band, originally formed in 1970; by 1983 the group had had enough and disbanded. Over the years, they have reformed briefly for recording and gigs. Morse was Deep Purple's guitarist from 1994 to 2022. Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with extensive new notes.
Mothers attempt to exist in two places at once - both singular and collaborative, sprawling and concise, present and distant. Kristine Leschper, songwriter and founding member of the project, explains that it is in the space between opposites that she finds herself. The multifaceted is, by nature, fragmented - each facet reflecting a slightly different perspective of the whole. On their latest record, Render Another Ugly Method, the band attempts to gain an expanded view of it's surroundings through splintered sound, thought, and image.
