Product Description

Ah, the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus, bringing a taste of merry old England to the Midwest. Led by the illustrious Philip Barnes, this group of vocal virtuosos takes a crack at some of the most iconic British choral works in their latest album, "Saint Louis Firstsin." The album kicks off with a bang (or rather, a harmonious hum) with a rousing rendition of Handel's "Zadok the Priest." Barnes and his choir really bring the drama and grandeur of this classic piece to life, with soaring sopranos and earth-shaking basses. You can almost picture yourself in Westminster Abbey, neck craned towards the majestic vaulted ceilings. But the real standout here is their unique take on Tallis' "Spem in Alium." This 40-part motet is a monumental feat in choral music, and the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus rises to the challenge with impressive precision and unity. Each voice weaves in and out of the intricate polyphony, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of sound that envelops the listener in a warm embrace. Overall, "Saint Louis Firstsin" is a delightful showcase of the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus' talent and versatility. Whether you're a seasoned choral aficionado or a newbie looking to dip your toes into the world of British choral music, this album is sure to please. So sit back, pour yourself a cuppa, and let the soothing sounds of the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus transport you across the pond. Cheers!
