Reviews:

“The Chorale’s richly resonant voices go well beyond the bounds of a meticulous perfomance. These men have found something in the material which touches them deeply, and it shines through their delivery with beacon-like honesty.” —Harry H. Long, LEBANON (PA) DAILY NEWS

“The recorded sound is quite spectacular. A number of the pieces, despite their short length, aspire to the grandeur of the Mahler Second, and the recording captures the brightest brass passages and the deepest organ tones with amazing fidelity.” —Richard Burke, FANFARE

“The sound of 200 men’s voices plus that big organ and the other instruments in the Meyerson Center in Dallas is really thrilling. It’s hard to find a weak piece here, or one that fails to move the hearer. This is the best contemporary sacred music I have heard in years, and I can’t imagine better performances or recordings.” —Donald Vroon, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE
