Randall Wolfe directs the popular Cincinnati (Ohio) Boychoir, who recently had two members accepted to tour Japan and the US with the prestigious Vienna Boys Choir's Haydnchor. "Seven Continents" is a lively collection of tunes from Africa (the African folksong "Siyahamba"), South America ("Tinga Layo," West Indies folksong), Asia ("A Crying Bird," Taiwanese folksong), Europe (Johann Strauss, Jr.'s "Tritsch Tratsch Polka"), Australia (the well-known folksong "Kookaburra"), and North America (Mary Earl's "Beautiful Ohio" and "When My Baby Smiles at Me"). 14 songs in all, all lightly piano accompanied. A fun, spirited collection from the Cincinnati Boychoir! |
