Album Notes

"Brave and true...vigilant musicianship." - The New York Times

"...angelic voices..." - Chicago Tribune

"A performance of heartwrenching beauty." - The Royal Gazette (Bermuda)

For sixty-five years, The American Boychoir has been dazzling audiences worldwide with its unique blend of rich sonorities, musical sophistication, effervescent spirit and ensemble virtuosity. Its expressive power and innovative programming have established its reputation as the United States' premier concert boys' choir. In addition to its international touring schedule, The American Boychoir regularly performs and records with world-class artists and ensembles: from the venerable New York Philharmonic to the incomparable Chanticleer, from legendary jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis to Christian pop sensation Michael W. Smith, from opera diva Jessye Norman to rock opera with The Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

The Choir has appeared many times on television: A&E's "Breakfast with the Arts," "Live! With Regis and Kathy Lee," CBS's "This Morning" and NBC's "Today," among others. It can also be recognized on many television commercial soundtracks including Monster.com, Salomon Smith-Barney and the Clio-sinning "True Colors" campaign for Kodak.
