When I sang in a church choir, I loved singing hymns and spirituals arranged by Robert Shaw/Alice Parker. Those arrangements were always perfect for the voice ranges and each section usually had something interesting to do vocally. I expected to love this CD when I ordered it and I do.

I love the harmonies among the voices and excellent diction of singers. You don't have to know the words to understand what is being sung. Some of these songs were new to me; others I had sung. My favorites are Wondrous Love, Bright Canaan, Ride on King Jesus, I Got Shoes, and Lord If I Got My Ticket.

If you enjoy choral music, I think you will like this CD. If you enjoy religious music, I think you would like it, too. If you like both, you may well love this recording. ( )
