“It is impossible to do anything else but listen once the opening track of this glorious album begins … here is music making of the highest quality.” – Classic FM Magazine

This fascinating a cappella album presents a wide-ranging selection of the many “regional flavours of the American choral scene”, with lesser-known composers like René Clausen and Healey Willan presented alongside works by Stephen Paulus and Steven Stucky. The album is also notable for its early championing of the now internationally-admired Ola Gjeilo.
