DCD 043 - A Collection of Choirs

This episode of the "DCD Classical 'Cast" we present a program of choral music. We start and finish with selections from the Seattle Pro Musica, a professional group active in the Pacific Northwest. Their holiday album, "Wiehnachten: A German Christmas" is a perennial best-seller for us. And, as you'll hear, their other releases, "Peace in Our Time" and "Alnight by the Rose" are of equal quality.

We also include a renaissance madrigal from Giaches de Wert, and John Biggs conducts his composition "Two Chorals on Poems by Oscar Wilde."
