Editorial Reviews

DIGITALLY REMASTERED

Tantara Records is pleased to reintroduce the Deseret Book best seller that marked the emergence of the BYU Men's Chorus as a recording ensemble under the baton of conductor Mack Wilberg (now director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir). Rousing hymns ("Redeemer of Israel," "Lead Kindly Light," and others) and folk songs from around the world ("Whoa, Haw, Buck and Jerry Boy" from early Utah, and the immensely popular television favorite "Betelehemu" from Nigeria) characterize this wonderful collection, which is newly available after a long hiatus in its new, digitally remastered form.

This review is from: Shout with Glory! (Audio CD)

My mom sent this CD to me over 10 years ago and it is absolutely SUPERB! Simply BRILLIANT in it's ability to bring sheer joy to your soul! There is a rich collection of traditional American church hymns, 'old time' spirituals and folk-tunes as well as quite a few folk-tunes from other countries. The two spirituals from Africa are incredibly moving (especially from about the middle of "Betelehemu" to the end); you can't help but want to bang your hands on a drum and sway to the rhythm and when the song ends I guarantee that you will have an overpowering urge to hit the replay button. It is just sheer joy! Just listening to the 30-second samples again tonight here on Amazon makes me want to go and pop in my CD. If you are even a small fan of choral music this is worth every single penny!
