James MacMillan: Cantos Sagrados   sample  (mp3) William Hawley: In Paradisum   sample Frank Ferko: Magnificat Gyorgy Orban: Mundi Renovatio   sample William Hawley: Celia Libby Larsen: To a Long Loved Love (world premiere performance)

Exclusive recordings: These are the only recordings of these works currently available (original recording of Cantos Sagrados is out of print).

Here is a stimulating assortment of works by five highly regarded contemporary composers—three of them American—skillfully realized by an outstanding American choir.

The splendid South Bend Chamber Singers offer consistently rich-toned and technically secure choral artistry in these often difficult selections. Three of these works were written specifically for them. They are captured in excellent sound. We get full texts and the program notes are well done.
