Cantus: A Cappella Arrangements

Review: Kenneth Jennings' settings of two Dylan Thomas poems 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,' and And Death Shall Have No Dominion' are both beautiful arrangements. 'Loch Lomond' is a Scottish folk song that dates back to the Jacobite Rebellion. Care has been taken to preserve the authenticity of the language in this arrangement, with the help of a ipa chart in the performance notes of this chart. With an energetic, strong opening and a more lyric, gentle section in the middle, 'Alleluia' provides an overall sense of the joy we experience while praising god. 'Let the Bullgine Tun,' a vigorous, humorous, traditional sea chantey is guaranteed to delight both singers and audiences.

Songlist: Do Not Go Gentle Into The Night, Let the Bullgine Run, Loch Lomond, Alleluia, Amen, And Death Shall Have No Dominion

H T Burleigh : Deep River

A powerful and somber spiritual from Harry T. Burleigh with helpful edits for men's choir from Cantus. Much of the melody is given to Bass 1 as others hum the rich harmonies. A brief animato section builds to a glorious forte before it winds back to the same dramatic and chromatic chord progression that opened the piece.

Performed By: Cantus
