A fitting title for the lyrics and music in this soothing CD. I listened to it on a long drive to celebrate Christmas with family members. Excellent choral performances by skilled musicians. I'll enjoy it for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Sorrow Free, Charis Chamber Voices, October 27, 2000

Dr. Elise K. Kirk, author of American Opera (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From Sorrow Free (Audio CD)

This beautiful recording reflects the spirit of the nation in vocal expressions ranging from traditional ballads to songs of Ives and Copland. The varied arrangements and use of the voices in contrasting textures and moods offer the aficionado of American vocal music many special gems. Charis (which in Greek means "grace") is a small vocal ensemble, conducted by Susanne Peck, noted for its purity of tone and careful blending of the voices. With its excellent, insightful program notes, From Sorrow Free adds a welcome dimension to the understanding and enjoyment of America's rich vocal repertoire.
