What classical music did you listen to today?

Hi Krummhorn,

What were the selections that Maestro Anton Armstrong had the choir sing? I know Dr. Armstrong quite well. He is a magician with the choral sound and know that just about every performance by his choir is top-of-the-line.

Cheers,

Hi Corno Dolce,

I've put the selections in an attached "pdf" document instead of a lengthy listing here.

Indeed, what you say of Dr. Armstrong is so true ... the entire program (with the exception of the accompanied Stroope piece) was performed A Capella ... they got their pitches from a single note on a pitch pipe about 2 seconds before they sang the first note of an anthem ... totally amazing, but not unexpected from a group of this caliber. Anton celebrates his 30th year in 2008 directing this choir. The diction was superb ... the "K's", the "C's", the ending "D's and "G's" ... down to the "Ch" in the word chiming during Built on A Rock. Spectacular!!

The choir is ending their Main Tour, returning to Minnesota for performances on Feb 16 & 17.

Hi Krummhorn,

Thanx for sharing that .pdf with Dr. Armstrong's selections. He definitely does his homework on repertoire enlargement, both for his choir but also for the choir director community-at-large across the U.S.

Cheers,
