Wade / Forrest / Byu Combined Choirs - Celebration of Christmas: Holy Night - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Schutz / Scarlatti / Bach,J.S. / Handel / Vso - Great Christmas Classics [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/25/2011

Each Christmas season at Brigham Young University over 500 vocalists and instrumentalists celebrate the season in song. Handpicked from the largest private student body in the country, these students comprise four nationally and internationally acclaimed choirs and the highly praised Philharmonic Orchestra. These musical organizations are known for their unity, due in part to the superb technical proficiency achieved under the hands of choral conductors Rosalind Hall, Dr. Andrew Crane, and Jean Applonie and Philharmonic conductor Kory Katseanes. But there is more. Students and conductors share a strong belief in the spiritual character of music. As one critic observed, InchThe spiritual element is present in each piece the choirs sing.Inch This results in performances that are alive, fresh, and heartfelt-performances that overcome boundaries and draw people together. The music presented here was recorded during the live performances of the December 2016 and 2017 Celebration of Christmas concerts.

Drummer w. quintet including Charles Lloyd, Gabor Szabo, Albert Stinson and George Bohanon. Live 1962.
