Choral Masterworks of Frank Martin, Edvard Grieg, Howard Hanson
Evoking the transparency and tension of that "thin place" where heaven and earth meet, Mandorla features three 20th century masterpieces: the majestic Mass for Double Choir by Frank Martin, the heartfelt, folksong-inspired Fire Salmer by Edvard Grieg, and the stunning Cherubic Hymn by Howard Hanson.
Sacred Choral Music of Sviridov, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky

Gloriæ Dei Cantores presents the third volume of its Anglican Psalmody series. This collection contains twenty-one of the most beautiful psalm tunes and the most uplifting texts in the series. From Psalm 8, "O Lord, our Governor, how excellent is Thy Name in all the world," to the final verse of psalm 150, "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord," these psalms express the utmost of praise and thanksgiving to God in every circumstance, and from every corner of creation.
