The Turtle Creek Chorale
Timothy Seelig, conductor
RR-86CD
[HDCD]
SING HALLELUJAH !
The ancient wisdom of the Psalms has been the inspiration for great composers for more than three thousand years. The renowned Turtle Creek Chorale of Dallas searched through this rich legacy and selected a unique program of Psalms by living composers - and all world-premiere recordings!
Two hundred strong male voices are heard with the mighty Fisk pipe organ in the Meyerson Symphony Center, brass ensemble, harp and percussion; a thrilling sound not often encountered.
The challenge "Prof." Keith Johnson faced, to capture all the inner subtleties and the incredible dynamics of the music, inspired him to create perhaps his finest HDCD® recording to date. It is a moving, rousing, and quite unforgettable musical experience!
