Product Description
Sweet Seraphic Fire brings together two unique bodies of American sacred song: choral compositions from the New England singing-school tradition and the most popular Evangelical Protestant hymn texts in historic American use. In the late eighteenth century the New England singing-school movement produced America's first great sacred-music style, employing several genres of unaccompanied four-part choral compositions with the melody in the lead (tenor) part. The enormous popularity of singing-school music also promoted a canon of hymn texts shared across America's competing Evangelical Protestant denominations. This recording contains neglected masterworks from the New England singing school that also helped to create the American hymn canon. Marking a more recent turn in this process, we have also included some new settings of traditional Evangelical lyrics written by leaders in the revival of singing-school music that has blossomed in the Northeast since 1976. ! Selection of pieces for this recording was determined by correlating "The Norumbega Harmony"--our collection of one hundred six historic New England singing-school compositions and thirty contemporary works in traditional style--with a list of the three hundred most frequently printed hymn texts in America from 1737 to 1960. --Stephen MariniCustomer Reviews:

Like a soothing cup of Chamomile!.......1998-12-04
The harmonious euphony created by these performers more than balances the anemic emotional diet required by my constant search for cadence in every step, breathe and heartbeat.
Thanks!
CHANTS for a New World.......1998-10-29
By Bill Minutaglio, Staff Writer of The Dallas Morning News
The feeling, at first, is as if you were in a cathedral, with the spiraling, echoing harmonies of sacred music by 17th-century European masters washing overhead. But from somewhere outside, somewhere "over there," comes an insistent, throbbing counterpoint. The juxtaposition is jarring initially--there is a percussive, rhythmic urgency on one side, a stylized mixture of sopranos, altos and tenors on the other.
The "Native Angels" recording by the San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble begins with a piece of polyphonic processional music sung on feast days in honor of the Virgin Mary. First published in 1631 in Lima, Peru, it literally sets the tone for the rest of this recording project--an attempt to recreate the music most likely sung in the 16th-to 18th-century New World missions by the Spanish colonialists, their slaves and conquered Indians.
There is a muscular underpinning to the "traditional" music as it was imported by the Spanish friars and taught in the old missions, and that drive is provided by Aztec log drums, African bata drum and a simple, boxy instrument called the 'cajon'.
The 16 selections, culled from church and museum archives, are all defined by the marriage of cultures. A piece written in the 17th century by Juan Garcia de Zespedes in Puebla, Mexico--"Convidando esta la noche"--has an Afro-Cuban flavor that seems light years removed from the singular, high harmonies probably then being heard in Spanish cathedrals. Musicologists affiliated with the project have suggested that the song's refrain is tied to deep-rooted African dances.
It could even be suggested that some of the pieces were among the early New World versions of 'corridos'--the popular Hispanic tunes that often blend the real world and news of the day into their lyrics. There are lyrics devoted to throwing parties, giving tobacco as gifts and playing games on horseback--but all usually done as a way to worship the Lord.
"Native Angels" is, in some ways, fusion church music--where the airy, ethereal choir meets the conga drum. And it is, at least, a partial window into how--even in the painful, historical context of the Spanish conquest--church music served as a bittersweet common language in the New World.
--Bill Minutaglio, The Dallas Morning News, Saturday, September 14, 1996
'Native Angels' is REALLY roots music.......1998-10-29
In a cover letter that accompanied the new CD, "Native Angels: Musical Miracles From the New World," by the San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble (SAVAE), Iago/Talking Taco label owner Ben Tavera King wrote, "Here's a CD of true San Antonio roots music. It doesn't get any older than this--I don't believe."
King is likely on-the-mark.
With "Native Angels," the octet delivers a compelling collection of the vocal-with-percussion music that was the result of American Indian and African slaves fusing their traditional sensibilities with songs taught by the Spanish missionaries of the Roman Catholic church.
The songs on "Native Angels" date from the early 16th century to the early 18th century. The ensemble has done its homework. The music was found in manuscripts in cathedral archives in Mexico, Central America and South America. Roots indeed.
The spare style, which showcases the sheer, pure instruments that are the ensemble's voices, was originally performed in church outposts from the American Southwest to Lima, Peru.
Religious affiliations of listeners to "Native Angels" will not matter. Like the chants of the Benedictine monks, surprise hits a couple of years ago, the songs on "Native Angels" come pretty close to being a sound that strikes universal chords.
San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble is Kathy Mayer, soprano; Phil Zamora, bass; Christopher Moroney, bass; Cathy Crosby-Schmidt, soprano; Tanya Moczygemba, alto; Covita Moroney, alto; Chris Crosby-Schmidt, tenor; and Lee P'Pool, tenor.
Choir yields CD discoveries.......1998-10-29
Reviewed by David Hendricks, San Antonio Express-News, Sunday, October 13, 1996
Six years after its debut, and after already appearing on National Public Radio's "Performance Today," SAVAE (San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble), has a first compact-disc recording that is out with a blast.
Eight voices and percussion. Music from colonial Latin America in the 1500s and 1600s. It's that simple and that beautiful. The Spanish missionaries brought their music to the villages of the U.S. Southwest on down to Peru. The Indians and slaves added their rhythms.
The scores of the 16 works performed on the 50-minute CD came out of the churches where they were composed and ritually played long ago. The European-Indian-slave cultural mix in those centuries may not have been smooth. There were diseases and wars. But the musical blend was harmonious. The music beams with joy, hope and life.
The performances by the San Antonio musicians are astonishingly perfect whether in unison or in supple, blended layers.
The singers are Kathy Mayer, Phil Zamora, Christopher Moroney, Cathy Crosby-Schmidt, Tanya Moczygemba, Covita Moroney, Chris Crosby-Schmidt and Lee P'Pool. Eric Casillas is percussionist, helped on rainsticks by Ben Tavera King, the producer of Talking Taco's Iago CD label distributing the new disc.
