Our Review


Choral CDs are really more in Carol's province, but circumstances dictated I navigate these waters, and what a pleasant circumstance it was. The Glenn Mohr Chorale is a complete choir, including women, men, and even a "Cherub Chorus" to give it an aww factor. The vocals were pleasant and varied, with men, women, and children all taking active roles in this recording. But what I appreciated most was the song selection. Except for The First Noel and the unavoidable Silent Night the remaining holiday chestnuts were "choraled" into Christmas Hymn Medley. Thank the stars! The remainder were mostly tunes I was not overly familiar with. Such careful song selection demonstrates care, a care that was further illustrated by the wonderful arrangements that used each set of vocalists to best advantage. The Glenn Mohr Chorale's A Star Still Shines was a fine way to start off a Sunday morning!
