Very Peaceful and Relaxing.......2007-06-28

This music is very easy listening and very peaceful. It would be good music to meditate too, as well as just playing it around the house.

Life-giving music.......2007-01-21

After I stumbled on "Returning" by Jennifer Berezan, a friend turned me on to "Praises for the World." This is truly a passionate recording of various voices and instruments. I feel connected to the energy of life and love when I listen to this. Have purchased it for other friends and they enjoy it very much. Keep on recording, Jennifer!

Great for studying, meditating, or just relaxing!.......2005-11-14

The back cover of the CD says, "File under world music, new age, women's, healing, meditation, vocal, ambient." Any of those will do just fine, but in my collection, it goes under "when you have to relax!" It is a wonderfully relaxing hour or so of music, sure to carry you off to any tranquil corner of your mind that you like once you put it on and close your eyes. Replete with guest vocalists and nature sounds over a mellow guitar arpeggio, the songscape consists primarily of gentle repetitions of the title line. Only the first four minutes or so are outside of that mold, featuring a three-verse song of healing and love for the Earth, which then segues neatly into the main event. Later in the piece, Alice Walker recites her poem "We Have A Beautiful Mother" over the music. This might be a bit much for some listeners, but if not, you'll love the whole CD. Pleasant dreams!

profoundly beautiful, dangerously addictive, marvelously uplifting, my favorite of Berezan's albums, and I have loved all of her work. The harmonies are celestial and hypnotic.

Incredible.......2003-08-31

I've given this CD along with "Returning" to friends and they love them too. Its a great CD - I find myself singing along, getting lost in the music and harmony. The CD is one long song that evolves and changes yet has "praises for the world" running through it as the undercurrent. Absolutely fanstastic.

Great CD!!.......2003-08-07

This is a must for all trombonists and music historians!! The sound of these groups is just amazing! Nowhere else can you get a sound like you do with the instruments that these trombonists use. Where else can you hear a contrabass, bass, tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino trombones all together? A great CD for a historical reference on the trombone also...tromobone chiors are one of the oldest forms of music, and THE oldest perfoming groups in the USA are the Moravian trombone choirs. This CD gives us a rare look into the past of how trombones were commonly used in centuries past, and how the tradition continues today.

Favorite Moravian chorales from childhood........1999-11-20

Trombone choirs! I love them. Everytime I hear this recording, I see again the church of my childhood and the trombone choir standing out in the snow near the front steps playing Christmas chorales during the hour before the Christmas Eve service. Why were they out there a full hour before the service? If you wanted a seat, you had to arrive an hour early, because late comers sat in folding chairs in the cloakrooms, or stood in the back. That church was filled to brimming only on Christmas Eve, because music lovers came from miles away to hear traditional Moravian Christmas music, and where else could one possibly hear it? Some of it is on this recording. The words sung to track 8 are "All my heart this night rejoices...", and that sense of anticipation and pleasure is exactly what Moravians feel as they enjoy a night of great music, sung mostly by the people in the pews, not just the choirs. It's all here. The great songs from Advent, Lent, songs of repentance, forgiveness, joy, for baptising babies and burying old people. When you hear track 19, Hosanna, think of a room full of singers on Palm Sunday, echoing back and forth to each other, the little girls and women singing back to the boys and men. My only criticism is that there are perhaps too many songs in minor keys grouped together. They evoke too much sadness and start to sound like endless dirges. The musical interpretation and masterful rendering of the chorales is absolutely delightful, not only for us who hold all the words in our heads and are singing along, but also for those who will assign their own meaning to the music.

ASIN: B000268QMQ
Release Date: 2004-09-21

Album Description

This is the first new recording devoted entirely to the choral music of Ruth Watson Henderson selected by the composer herself. Her large output of music for choir is held in the highest esteem and performed extensively worldwide. It ranges from the title track Sing all ye Joyful, the elfish and charming song overheard by Bilbo Baggins in the final pages of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbitt, to the more contemplative religious texts and treatment found in Cantata domino, Come Holy Spirit, Magnificat, Psalm 150 and Sing ye praises to the Father, to the setting of E. Pauline Johnson's famous 1903 poem The Song My Paddle Sings, to Make me a World, inspired by the words of African-American poet and statesman James Weldon Johnson and finally to Watson Henderson's insightful rendering of Two Love Songs - The Passionate Shepherd and The Nymph's Reply.

Album Description

Award-winning composer Jack Gottlieb ranks at the forefront of American music, both for his theater and concert works as well as his works of Jewish inspiration. The world-premiere recording of Love Songs for Sabbath, a deeply personal and artistic setting of Sabbath liturgy, combining the spoken word with music, is performed by celebrated actress Tovah Feldshuh (four Tony nominations for Best Actress, four Drama Desk, and numerous other awards). Jack Gottlieb's mastery of classical and popular idioms is delightfully apparent in Psalmistry and Shout for Joy—lively, jazz influenced choral works that celebrate life.
