Our latest Christmas CD features music recorded during the 2009 and 2010 Christmas seasons including performances by the Choir of the West, University Chorale, and the combined choirs with the University Symphony Orchestra. There are familiar Christmas carols such as Ding Dong! Merrily On High, Angels We Have Heard on High, the Spanish carol Hacia Belén va un Borrico, and the Swedish favorite Wonderful Peace. Also featured are a beautiful Ave Maria and a setting of In The Bleak Midwinter by Brian Galante, conductor of the University Chorale. And the recording ends with the majestic Pacific Sanctus, an exciting new work by Robert Kyr.
