From the choir's web site:
"This recording presents two choral works of composer Charles Ives. The oratorio "The Celestial Country" (composed when Ives was a church organist in New Jersey, and first performed 1902) and "Silence Acccompanied" - a choral cycle compilation from songs and pieces for small chamber ensemble dating from (mostly) around 1920. The presentation provides full background information and all the texts." (60:38 2005)
