Synopsis

Product Description

Robert de Cormier, a graduate of Juilliard, acted as music director of the New York Choral Society for seventeen years. His other conducting engagements have taken him from Broadway and opera to the Berkshire Choral Institute, the Zimriya World Assembly of Choirs in Israel and numerous tours throughout the United States and Europe with the famed Robert de Cormier Singers. He has also been musical arranger and director for Harry Belafonte and Peter, Paul and Mary. In 2000 he established Counterpoint, an eleven-voice vocal ensemble based in Vermont. Here they sing a beautiful collection of carols covering many periods and cultures, celebrating the holiday season in truly memorable fashion. Counterpoint is also featured on two other Albany releases: When the Rabbi Danced (TROY676) and Missa Criolla (TROY746).

CD Reviews

Wonderful and Different

Nom de Plume | Charleston, SC | 12/14/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Tired of the usual seasonal drivel coming our way around the Hollidays? This album presents a truly sensational collection of Christmas songs, most of whom you have likely not heard before - this is a small part of what makes it so wonderful

The songs are beautifully arranged and executed to perfection.

For those of you wishing to celebrate the season without the mind-numbingly 'usual' collection of worn out songs, this album is a must-have."
