“The vision of Cappella Records is to extend our work to peer ensembles that serve our mission,” says Mark Powell, Executive Director of Cappella Records and Cappella Romana. “It is only rarely that a piece of this standard comes into the repertoire, and I hope that many more ensembles will program it as a result of this nomination.”
All of us at Cappella Records send hearty congratulations to conductor and composer Benedict Sheehan, the production team at Soundmirror (Blanton Alspaugh, producer), and all the singers who made this album!
The roster of The Saint Tikhon Choir for this release also includes several familiar members of Cappella Romana: Richard Barrett, Kristen Buhler, Photini Downie-Robinson, David Hendrix, Glenn Miller, and Mark Powell.
