Choral music with soulful rythum and energy

Lets start this with a gospel recording that will make your soul feel like dancing -

The Arc Choir, Mapleshade studios

The Angels, Mapleshade studios (not nearly as good as the Arc)

The Fairfied Four, Standing in the safetly zone and I couldn't hear nobody pray - just excellent!

Here's a great uplifting larger choir recording from an unknown college choir -

The Valparaiso University Chorale, Traditions: Hymns, Motets and folk songs - Vuca Media recording

I know there are some killer uplifting choir recordings out there which are upbeat and recorded well, I just don't know about alot of them, any suggestions?

I've got Cantate Domino too, thats a very good choral recording as well.

Thanks,
Chris

This is sad. I sing Spirituals (among other things), yet I own none on CD. I guess when you hear and perform it live, you don't listen to it as home. Check back later and I will try to go through my music, and will try to give you a list of some of our favorite songs. You can then search for recordings that have them.

A lot of the things we sing are on a Robert Shaw CD "Amazing Grace". It is on Telarc. You can find a listing of the songs on Tower Records or Amazon websites. I sing with Tom Hall in Baltimore who was a protégé of Mr. Shaw. You can find out more about us at:

I think you should find a good selection of choruses in the Chicago area. We mostly perform in the Baltimore/Washington area, but do get out on occassion.

Two concerts of note are this coming March 16, 2002 we are at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall with Peter Schickele (aka PDQ Bach); and next March 30, 2003 we'll be at the new Murphy Fine Arts Center at Morgan State University with Dave Brubeck; and a lot in between. The website has more information.

We also perform with other groups like the Baltimore Symphony, National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, and other area concert venues like at Johns Hopkins University, plus area churches, but those concerts are on their schedules.
