Reviews

  • Throughout Remember, Revere, Rejoice one hears a polished vocal ensemble, elegant and thoughtful arrangements, and fresh musical ideas. The liner notes and translations help the listener better understand each selection. Remember, Revere, Rejoice is a wonderful album of the choral art. Listening to the barely 18 minutes of well-performed and well-crafter choral music, this writer wishes there was more music on it!
