nativité
This is not your average Christmas CD; it is filled to overflowing with a cappella classics and breathtaking contemporary carols. The holiday music ranges from Franz Biebl’s Ave Maria, to Hugo Distler’s Es ist ein Rose entsprungen, to Steven Chatman’s O come, O come Emmanuel, to some wonderful arrangements by ensemble members Jonathan Quick and Derrick Christian. This album was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award.
