Elizabeth C. Patterson - Mandorla: Mass for Double Choir / Fire Salmer - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

The talented American choir Gloriae Dei Cantores offers a selection of music that allows the listener to experience the mandorla a sacred, spiritual space that bridges the human and the divine. Their new Super Audio CD features three visionary works the Mass for Double Choir by Frank Martin, the Four Psalms by Edvard Grieg, and The Cherubic Hymn by Howard Hanson. These three 20th century composers and their works are tied together not by creed, conviction, nationality (although all three have some roots in Scandinavia and the Netherlands), or style, but by their illuminations of humanity s need for salvation and their expressions of the intimacy and glory of these sacred encounters between heaven and earth.
