Based on 1 review(s) | Write your own review

Exquisitely sung and beautifully recorded, this CD offers some of the most heartfelt singing we've ever heard. Perfect intonation, sumptuous sound, and familiar tunes - this is Dale Warland at his best. Includes "Deep River," Simple Gifts, "The Water is Wide," Beautiful River ("Shall we gather at the river") "We gather together," and many more. Full text and notes on each song.

Review by The Seattle Times:

"Before disbanding at founding conductor Dale Warland's retirement last year, this superb chorus left behind this recording of Americana. Songs, hymns, traditional folk ballads and more are collected here in intriguing arrangements by such composers as Carol Barnett, Norman Luboff, Stephen Paulus and Warland himself.

There's an autumnal feeling about this CD, with the traditional Thanksgiving hymn "We Gather Together" at the disc's center, and every listener is likely to recognize settings of "Shall We Gather at the River," "Simple Gifts" and "The Water is Wide" (there also are a few surprises). As always, you'll hear the sumptuous blend of the singers and the beautifully shaped sound that was Warland's unique gift."
