Minnesota-based National Lutheran Choir was invited to perform at the National Conference of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians in 2003 in Southern California. An anonymous donor graciously made possible this limited edition recording of the music they were to sing on the tour (the performance is not before an audience). The group was definitely in fine form for the tour! The title piece, "I Sing Of They Mercies" arranged by Leland B. Sateren and based on a Norwegian folk tune, is absolutely gorgeous! Another major piece is by Urmas Sisask, "Oremus (Let Us Pray)" number 23 from Gloria Patri, 24 hymns for mixed choir - it is haunting, ethereal, almost trance-like at times, an ideal contemporary vocal background for thoughtful prayer. Barber's "Lamb of God" and Tavener's famous "Song For Athene" help round out a fabulous collection of important sacred choral pieces. Hurray - we don't know how many more of this "limited edition" remain! (39:31 2003)
