Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
After many words of encouragement from people I know and from audience members at the many choral concerts I have played for, and many church services I have played at, I started considering doing a recording. In addition, over the years I have written or arranged a large number of pieces, some of which have only been heard by a small number of people. That, combined with a desire to share my music with others, I decided to go ahead and do this CD.For the CD I looked at all of my original music and arrangements written for all instruments and chose a variety of music. One might compare the selections to a journey through the music I have written or performed over the years. A significant amount of my musical experience has been playing hymns and gospel songs so I have included a handful of those. But for the bulk of the CD, I chose original compositions. The compositions are in a variety of styles although one description that kept coming up during the mixing sessions was "mood music." Although it is probably not fair to describe the entire CD in those terms.

Product Description
Travels of the Heart is a very refreshing collection of mostly solo piano music. The first thought that comes to mind when listening to this CD is that of "atmospheres" or mood music. A number of songs are very soothing and relaxing - something welcomed in this time of national stress - while there are also a number of more upbeat tracks as well as one classical favorite with a twist. There is also a certain spiritual nature to much of the selections. Certainly if the first track isn't to your liking, keep listening as the next one or more is likely to be something you will like. And with 18 tracks to choose from, there is plenty of good listening in store. Anyone who likes the music of George winston, Enya and similar artists will probably like this CD.

Album Description

This new disc takes the listener on a journey from the depths of despair to the pinnacles of joy, featuring rarely heard virtuoso works for male choir by Carl Orff, Jean Sibelius, Samuel Barber, Josquin Des Pres and Claude Debussy. The newly commissioned "Two Laments on Dylan Thomas" by Kenneth Jennings, Schubert's haunting "Grab und Mond" and Randall Thompson's "Alleluia" are saturated with Cantus' emotionally-charged singing. This disc is a 24-bit high resolution recording and comes in a sumptuous sleeve, with a beautifully presented 34 page booklet.

Customer Reviews:

Cantus has done it again!.......2003-12-07

Cantus has done it again with ...Against the Dying of the Light. This CD although much more secular and sacred, still demonstrates the power of music through singing. This album takes the listener back to some the very roots of choral music with compositions dating back to fifteenth century. Cantus brings out all despair and joy of the texts in ...Against the Dying of the Light. Although most of the pieces are sung in Latin, a story of greif and sarrow to consolation and joy is clearly told. All avid choral singers must have this CD. The "Two Laments on Dylan Thomas" are simply profound. You will not be dissapointed with this CD. This male choral group is second to none!

Wonderful.......2002-12-31

As a vocalist with a love for male a cappella, Cantus has struck my fancy in numerous ways. This album is a WONDERFUL example of their artistry. Their rendition of Randall Thompson's Alleluia is stunning, as are all of the other tracks. Truly worth the purchase.
