About the Artist
Cor Sanctum is a new group of musical talent, comprised of four young adults seeking to serve God and our community through music. We have been singing together as Cor Sanctum since the summer of 1999. Joy is the only member with an extensive formal study in music; the rest of us have had to develop our talents on our own. Joy, Stephen and Jennifer have been singing in various choirs since grade school. Joy has been playing recorder and piano since 1980. Greg played clarinet and saxophone in high school band, occasionally since, but not yet for Cor Sanctum. He prefers percussion - conga drum and tambourine being his favorites. Jen played recorder in grade school and xylophone in high school for a year and prefers to stick to just vocals. The creative center of the group is Stephen. He is a self taught musician and has been writing music since 1989 when he acquired his first guitar. He has had the most experience, among the four of us, in cantoring for Mass, having done this since 1985. In his mid-twenties, he formed a band, The Lost Sheep, with two other young men, and then later formed Background Noise with his sister and Greg. Both bands spent a few years entertaining in coffeehouses and at "open-mic" nights. Stephen is a prolific songwriter. As of Novemeber 2000 he has completed 378 songs. He, along with his sister, Jen Hoover, writes skits and plays. He is even working on two musicals. The first is based on an earlier play he wrote with his sister. It is set in the Old West. It is based on an entertaining mix of common fairy tales. The second musical is based on the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Product Description

A source of peace for peace-lovers.......2007-08-03

This CD is one of my favorites to listen to when I feel the need to be closer to the Spirit. Mack Wilberg is a master at transforming old hymns into glorious arrangements. I have had experience with high school students who love singing his arrangements even within the context of a world that seems in a state of constant conflict. THIS CD IS FABULOUS!

Beautiful.......2007-06-14

This CD is a must have for any Mormon Tabernacle Choir fans. The music is very reverent and gentle, and should also appeal to those not from the LDS church, seeing as how most of the music is common to the wider Christian community. This CD is a fantastic addition to any music collection.

A few bright spots, but also some disappointments.......2007-01-19

It Is Well With My Soul is one of my favorite-favorites and that is the main reason why I bought the CD; it turned out to be a huge let down on this album, they rearranged it so much that I almost didn't recognize it. Be Still My Soul is another reason why I bought it and it's good, but not great. Swing Low Sweet Chariot is where it starts to get good. The last two songs "Thou Gracious God, Whose Mercy Lends"
and "Come, Let Us Anew" are very good reasons to buy this CD, they each have truely powerful passages and make the CD worth having. The Mormon Tabernacle Choirs 2006 release entitled Then Sings My Soul is by far the best that I've heard from them.

This CD Deserves SIX Stars!.......2005-11-05

However, the rating scale has a limit of five. I own over 700 CDs of virtually every type of music. Peace Like A River belongs in a class by itself! I've never written a review before but, after listening to this STUNNING performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I feel compelled to share my praise with that of the five other reviewers. If I were limited to one word, I would use the word "SUPERB" to describe this beautiful and moving CD. SIX stars for Peace Like a River! BRAVO!!!

every good adjective .......2005-08-06

This album is all beauty and solace. The singing is pristine, the arrangements lush and often stirring--never saccharine. As with the previous reviewer, my first listing of "Peace Like a River" brought me to tears (especially "Peace Like a River," the sopranos in "Swing Low," and the bagpipes in "Thou Gracious God"). Buy this one.

Cor Sanctum is Simply Awesome.......2005-10-23

Make Us Saints is a superb album. The first tracks are really catchy and upbeat, but, surprisingly, it doesn't go downhill from there. These are perfect melodies that inspire and speak of God in an intimate way. I would have to say my least favorite song here is "Jesus, Bread of Life," but it's still good. This is the only album I own that I can honestly say that every song is good. A masterpiece for our times; I'm surprised I'm the first to review it. Well done!
