Product Description Make His Praise Glorious: American Psalmody 1 - This collection of twentieth-century American psalm settings features many recorded premieres, including works by Hovhaness, Nelson, Adler, and Hanson. Other composers included are Ives, Starer, Thompson, and Pinkham. Review ''...Psalm 90 in its setting by Charles Ives is its greatest setting ever. In this gorgeouslysung version...let the music get to you: it is perfectly suited to the words. When the choir sings, ''And let the beauty of the Lord our God be on us,'' see if you don''t melt into tears as I do. Not much in music is this beautiful. ...the choral sound is rich and full, often quite thrilling.'' --Donald Vroon, American Record Guide ''Elizabeth C. Patterson and her Gloriae Dei Cantores (Singers to the Glory of God) chorus had been total unknowns to me prior to about a year ago. The group had been brought to my attention then by Mark O''Connor''s publicist, at which time he had been the guest artist on their Appalachian Sketches album. But that album, excellent as it was, turned out to be just the small tip of a significant iceberg in terms of choral singing, and particularly the American traditions of sacred choral singing over the last halfmillennium. --Raymond Tuttle, Fanfare
