Carson Cooman: Sacred Choral Music (2008)
American composer Carson Cooman is only 25, yet already has an astounding corpus of over 700 works under his belt. Cooman's music is more harmonically advanced than his fellow countrymen Lauridsen and Whitacre, yet his music remains immediately accessible to the listener, and begs repeated listening.

Time
and Eternity (2000)
Our millennium CD contains music chosen for
services in the college chapel during the academic
year 1999-2000. The theme of each service (and
thus the music selected) was based around the
subject of 'Time and Eternity'. The recording
starts by remembering the events leading up
to Christ's birth, and continues with Christmas
itself. It goes on to reflect on the passage
of twenty centuries and on what is still to
come: that is, the inevitability of each soul's
journey from this world. |

Live
at Corsanico (1999)
Our 6th CD, Live from Corsanico was recorded
during a tour of Tuscany in 1999. Although recorded
in mono, with the occasional cough and chair
scraping, we hope that the excitement of the
live concert makes up for the lack of editing. |
