Davies,Lestyn Rolling River: American Choral CD

Choral singing enjoys astonishing vitality in the United States of America. Alongside Bernstein's prodigious Chichester Psalms, Barber's Two Choruses, and Erb's much-loved arrangement of Shenandoah, Graham Ross and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge introduce us to the colorful works of the younger generation of composers on the other side of the Atlantic. This recording is splendid panorama of American choral music from the post-war period to the present day.
