Gift of the Angels - Holiday Offerings
From the heart of the city, comes the heart of the holidays:
Traditional and contemporary favorites; music of Christmas and Hannukkah.
2002 at the 45th GRAMMY Entry List, Best Classical Crossover Album

When the idea of recording a CD is born, its a little like a feather thats been picked up and swept away by a sudden gust of wind. The feather flies this way and that as thoughts take shape and a direction is decided upon. Here finally, after days and weeks and months, the feather has come to rest and a dream has been realized. We are so proud to bring you this Gift of the Angels - Holiday Offerings. This CD, our second, is a true labor of love. The music has been recorded with all the excitement and passion and inspiration that could possibly unite one hundred voices. The versatility of our wonderfully talented singers and musicians blends into a sound that is uniquely our own. And performing a wide-ranging collection of musical styles - from classical to jazz to gospel to folk - has become our hallmark. We hope, as you listen, that you feel what we felt when we gathered to sing this extraordinary music. Thank you for allowing us to share this gift with you. From our hearts into yours. |
