DCD 082 - Christmas Vespers

Episode #82 of the DCD Classical 'Cast podcast features selections from a new recording by the Motor City Brass Quintet. Christmas Vespers is a wonderful collection of holiday music played by some of the finest brass musicians in Detroit. The album gets it title from a work by American composer John Harbison.

"Christmas Vespers" follows the outline of a traditional vespers service, and Harbison weaves traditional carols into his musical tapestry. A fascinating work, and a thrilling recording for anyone who loves brass ensembles!
