A delightful and impressive debut recording from this world-class performing ensemble from the Pacific Northwest. Under the direction of Jerome Wright, these girls have shown all over the world, and especially on this disc, that they are very good at what they do. Their diction is wonderful, their blend is exquisite, and their tone quality is clear and pleasant. Britten's "Ceremony of Carols" is done very well, with standout solo work in "Balulalow" and great ensemble work in the fierce "This Little Babe." "Light the Legend" and "A Feast of Lights" are poignant Hanukkah songs. The Jackson Berkey original "God Be in My Head" is a beautiful chant-like piece. Some songs, like Rutter's "Il Est Né Divin Enfant," are lightly accompanied by recorders and drums and sometimes piano or harp. This is a well-rounded collection of songs for the holiday season.
