this cd set is definately worth the money spent. i haven't heard some of the music before but was willing to give it a try.

5 out of 5 stars Great Patriotic Music.......2007-02-21

Beautiful music perfect for feeling patriotic. Received CD promptly and in great condition.

4 out of 5 stars A good choice of tunes with good quality.......2005-06-30

If you like military tunes and marches, this 2-CD is a good choice. The orchestration is good, it is well played and the quality of recording is good. If you like this kind of music, it is a good choice to buy.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!!.......2003-08-11

I have the CD at home and the songs sound fabulous. I've heard the Houston Symphony's version of the Star Spangled Banner many times on TV as this anthem has been used at sign-off (when this was happening). It's as powerful a version you'll hear. Probably the finest patriotic music CD you can find out there.

5 out of 5 stars Best Patriotic Music I've Found.......2001-09-20

Loved the CD! I am buying it to use with a Musical Freestyle Ride for a Quadrille. A horse oriented endeaver. The music will be perfect to bring positive patriotism to fairs and fund raisers for NYC.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music from Elizabeth's time.......2002-09-13

This is an exceptional disc of music in height of popularity at
the court of Elizabeth I, and a bargan on the Naxos label(they
have several titles of early music available). The songs are all of high performance quality, and highly recomended to those interested in Elizabeth and her world. Several tracks for me stand out, including "Pour Down,You Pow'rs Divine", "Climb Not To High", and "Eliza, Her Name Gives Honour", this last composition written in celebration and honor of the queen, and beautifuly sung by Catherine King. The Rose Consort Of Viols are
also featured, the "grandfathers" of the modern bowed string
instruments were highly in vogue at the time for voice accompany or alone. For those with an interest in Elizabeth, or have seen the movie, this CD is highly recomended!

This might be my favorite holiday album. It's one of the first I pull out in November and doesn't get put away until February.

5 out of 5 stars Bright and sparkling!.......2002-11-29

A perfect way to celebrate the Christmas spirit any time of year with some truly "old" favorites, performed with spirit and heart by the Baltimore Consort. Period selections imbued here with the consort's singular sound and creative improvisations include "Ding Dong Merrily on High", "The Old Year Now Away is Fled", "The Cherry Tree Carol", "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day", "Es ist ein Ros", "In Dulci Jubilo", and many more that may charm you for the first time. The Baltimore Consort is: Mary Anne Ballard, viols and rebec; Mark Cudek, cittern, guitar, viols and bandora; Custer LaRue, soprano soloist; Larry Lipkis, viol, recorder and gemshorn; Ronn McFarlane, lutes; and Chris Norman, wooden flutes and pennywhistle; with Webb Wiggins on organ.

5 out of 5 stars why to get this disc (in rhyme).......2001-11-24

'Twas the day after Thanksgiving, and all through the house, Christmas spirit was stirring and starting to rouse feelings of joy and expectation in the hearts of the people who were there. Beautiful music and Custer LaRue's singing filled the air.

Wonderful songs, written by people long dead, caused pictures to form and stories to dance through each listening head. Stories of a virgin bearing a child, stories of the little Savior's entrance into this world...meek and mild.

Each song is sung with such haunting beauty and care. The Consort's playing could not be more wonderfully fair. Each song is a masterpiece--"The Cherry Tree Carol," "In dulci jubilo," and "Quem pastores laudavere." Each song's focus is on the true meaning of Christmas--no appearance made by St. Nick--but with singing like this, in your head they are sure to stick.

More beautifully than snowflakes this music drifts down. In sheer loveliness, "Christmas Is My Name" deserves the crown. Oh but each tune is strong--like "Ding Dong Merrily" and "The Wren Song." Most come in at under three minutes each, none is overlong. Each is stunning...how can the listener go wrong? How they twinkle...they are most merry. One even makes mention of Cherries.

(...)

I highly recommend this disc.

5 out of 5 stars A Christmas Favorite.......2000-12-09

Had enough of animated snowmen and over-sweetened carol arrangements? Here's a hugely enjoyable recording of songs and dances done with flair by the Baltimore Consort. There are a few familiar tunes, such as the lilting arrangement of "Ding, Dong Merrily On High" and a beautiful solo flute version of "Lo, How a Rose 'Er Blooming." But most the songs are off the beaten track, and are therefore fresh and new despite their antiquity. Custer LaRue brings feeling and energy into the songs. This has become the most played Christmas CD in our household.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent performances and unique music.......1999-12-13

This is my favorite Christmas CD, and it is very different from everything else we hear this time of year.

4 out of 5 stars A fine compilation of Milsap's Warner Brothers recordings.......2007-02-22

Ronnie Milsap was making good music in the 60's and early 70's before the world knew who he was, and this is one album that proves it. Originally released in 1975 after Milsap had already become a country star on RCA, this CD compiles 10 worthy recordings from Ronnie's brief stay with Warner Brothers in 1971. Ronnie spent the first decade of his career as a little-known R&B singer in Atlanta and Memphis, and these recordings were made at the end of this period just before he moved to Nashville and turned country. Most of the songs here show Ronnie breaking away from the hardcore R&B sound of his 60's recordings to a more pop-country sound for the first time.

Ronnie's impressive ability to take songs made famous by others and sing them as well or even better than the original artists is showcased on this CD. The Mickey Newbury masterpiece "She even woke me up to say Goodbye" is one of the finest country songs ever written, and although Jerry Lee Lewis had a great country hit with it, Ronnie's version gives the song a more polished pop arrangement and his vocal performance is top-notch as always. The pop ballad "I just can't help Believing" could've easily been a hit for Ronnie if he had recorded the song before B.J. Thomas. He clearly delivers the song just as well as Thomas or Elvis ever did, and his remake of Roy Orbison's "Crying" is also excellent! Another noteworthy song is the upbeat "Loving you is a natural thing" which actually managed to get onto the charts although it wasn't a big hit.

Five of the best songs on this CD are also included on another CD released in 2006 titled "Ronnie Milsap" {shown at the top of this page} that is even better than this collection! Considering how obscure Milsap's pre-country recordings are, both CD's are wise purchases for serious Milsap fans.

5 out of 5 stars The Real Ronnie Milsap.......2006-05-16

How this original 1971 Warner Brothers vinyl LP didn't sell a million copies is one of the biggest mysteries of the record business. Ronnie's version of the Mickey Newbury & Doug Gilmore
heartbreaker "She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye" is pure magic.
Produced by Chips Moman, this version is even better than Jerry Lee Lewis' 1969 hit. His original version of the Kris
Kristofferson song "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends" (found on this CD)is superior to his later recorded #1 RCA hit.
Credit producer Dan Penn for this one. Every cut on the CD is fantastic. There are no clunkers. "Keep On Smilin'" and "I Just Can't Help Believin'" sound as if they were written for Milsap.
From his 1970 Chips Record label minor hit "A Rose By Any Other Name (Is Still A Rose)" to his early Scepter Records association with writer Mark James' for the 1970 pop chart hit "Loving You Is A Natural Thing", also on the Chips Record
label, they're all here. If you love Ronnie Milsap, you must have this CD for your collection. It really should have been titled "Ronnie Milsap's Greatest Hits Volume 1".

    Album Description

    Ernst Bacon was one of that pioneering generation of composers, along with Thomson, Copland, Harris and others, who found a voice for American music. Born in Chicago on May 26, 1898, his Austrian mother gave him a love of song and an early start on the piano. Although his varied career included appearances as pianist and conductor, along with teaching and directing positions, his deepest preoccupation was always composing. His musical awards included a Pulitzer Fellowship in 1932 for his Symphony in D Minor and three Guggenheim Fellowships.

    As a composer, Bacon belonged to no “school” and followed no fads. He was largely self-taught in composition, except for two years study with Karl Weigl in Vienna in the early '20s. While there, he experienced the depression of post-war Europe first hand and concluded that the European avant-garde movement, reflecting the pessimism of that era and region, was not appropriate to America. Returning to Chicago, he set out to write music that expressed the vitality and affirmation of our own country.

    At the age of nineteen, while majoring in mathematics at Northwestern University, Bacon wrote a complex treatise exploring all possible harmonies, which was published by The Open Court Publishing Company (“Our Musical Idiom,” The Monist, October 1917). However, when he began to compose music in his twenties, he rejected a cerebral approach, taking the position that music is an art, not a science. He felt that its source should be intuitive and imaginative, rather than abstract and analytical.

    From his first job as opera coach at the Eastman School in the mid '20s, he went on to receive a master's degree from the University of California at Berkeley and to teach at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music under Ernest Bloch. During

    the '30s he was director of the WPA Federal Music Project and Orchestra in San Francisco and was a founder of the Carmel Bach Festival. From 1938 to 1945 he headed the School of Music at Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he established the New Spartanburg Music Festival. At Syracuse University, he was director of the School of Music from 1945 to 1947 and composer-in-residence and professor of piano until his retirement in 1963.

    In 1964 he returned to the West, settling in the small town of Orinda, California, east of the Berkeley hills. Here, as everywhere else, he drew his greatest inspiration from nature, jotting down notes as he explored local trails. His fertile imagination and constant creative efforts left little time for self-promotion, and although nearly blind in old age, he continued to compose until the very end of his ninety-one years.

    Throughout his long career, Ernst Bacon's chief aim as a composer was to express the spirit of America in music as Whitman, Emerson, Melville and others had done in literature. He was deeply immersed in our country's history and folklore, as well as its indigenous music; and was inspired by the poetry, folk songs, jazz rhythms and geography of America as well as the landscape itself—which he hiked, climbed and also painted. All of these elements found their way into his music.

    Those who influenced Bacon included Carl Sandburg, Thornton Wilder and Roland Hayes. Bacon's music expresses the common touch and humor of Sandburg; the profound simplicity of Wilder; and the melodic beauty that Roland Hayes expressed so movingly in his singing. As with Schubert, a large body of more than 250 art songs is the heart of an oeuvre that also includes numerous chamber, orchestral and choral works, as well as descriptive pieces for piano.

    In 1998 numerous vocal-chamber concerts of Bacon's music were held in honor of his centennial. These events took place at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City; the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress; the Free Library of Philadelphia; Syracuse, New York; Evanston and Chicago, Illinois; also in Berkeley and Waln

    5 out of 5 stars Robeson at his best.......2001-03-24

    This album consists of recordings Paul Robeson made in Britain durong the 1920s. He is accompanied by the great pianist Lawrence Brown or by a small orchestra led by Ray Noble. The songs on this disc are spirituals or pop songs of the era, and Robeson shines on every one of them. Robeson has an uncanny ability to make any song his own property, and this is especially true on his version of "Little Pal" - originally a saccharine semi-racist ballad written for Al Jolson. Robeson turns the song into a searing lament of an estranged father, and makes the song valid even today with his urgent, committed delivery. The majority of the songs on the cd are spirituals, and Robeson's versions are definitive in every sense of the word. All in all, there isn't a bad track here, and as an introduction to Robeson's work the record is priceless. The only aspect worth criticizing is the fact that the liner notes seem to shy away from the fact that Robeson was the first important black artist to actively fight for civil rights. The music here, however, is extremely beautiful.

      3 out of 5 stars Average soundtrack for an average film.......2007-06-30

      This early James Horner score fits the film well, as it is sparse and haunting. The title track (which opens the film) consists of a synthesizer and chimes and sets the mood for the entire film. However, this combined with a little monastic chant bogs down after about the first ten minutes or so. For diehard Horner fans only.

      5 out of 5 stars Lovely music!.......2001-12-18

      These CDs are for lovers of Irish music and of the "old-timey" sound of John McCormack. The songs themselves are lovely, and James Flannery sings them exactly as they need to be sung... in a simple and straightforward manner. The music is evocative of the sound and spirit of a long-ago time. The accompanying book gives interesting background information about Thomas Moore and also about the songs. Good listening for a rainy day or a snowy night with the fire blazing.
