Chicago A Cappella: Go Down, Moses

Be the first to review this product

This collection of 16 African-American spirituals is wonderful, boasting technical prowesstempered with the expressive emotionalism inherent in the genre. The 9 singers in this smallmixed-voice ensemble are very talented, with a strong, clear balanced tone. With arrangements by Moses Hogan (pulsing "Elijah Rock"), Joseph Jennings (a stirring "Steal Away") and Jester Hairston ("In dat great gittin' up mornin'," "Hold On") among others - and some great liner notesby group leader Jonathan Miller - the CD is an informative and entertaining overview of thespiritual style.
