Album Description

This CD is the second of the final CDs to be issued by The Dale Warland Singers, who disbanded in 2004. The program is a "harvest" of popular songs, hymns and spirituals, including "Simple Gifts," "Deep River," and "We Gather Together". The Grammy-nominated Dale Warland Singers were specialists in performing American works. Includes 16-page booklet with full texts and notes on the works! The Dale Warland Singers CDs are among the best selling American choral CDs in recent history. This CD is a "volume 2" of their best seller, Blue Wheat, issued previously on ACC. Based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, the Dale Warland Singers were recognized as one of the world's foremost a cappella choral ensembles. This 40-voice professional choir recently celebrated its 31st and final season of concerts, tours, radio broadcasts, and critically acclaimed recordings, following the retirement of founder and director Dale Warland.

"Harvest Home" Serves Up a Feast.......2006-03-10

Most CD recordings of choral music do not attract the attention of the population at large, and "Harvest Home" is clearly an exception. Word came to me about this remarkable album through a fellow faculty member at the Boston Conservatory. He was rightly proud of having written two of the arrangements, but prouder still of the fact that it had become a red-hot bestseller through the word-of-mouth network of choristers all over the country. Needless to say, I was curious but a bit skeptical. Generally, things that become that popular have an aesthetic downside. I ordered my copy from Amazon and got it just before I left to go to a concert with a couple of musician friends. We were frankly thrilled with the quality of the singing, the beautifully shaped nuances, and the richness of the several of the arrangements. It is clear that its popularity among choral singers has to do with the musical material, as with its execution. The arrangements are based on mostly religious American folk songs and show off the delicate intonational skills of Dale Warland's legendary group. It's just the kind of thing that church choir members can really appreciate, but unfortunately cannot stand up to repeated listing -- it has to be the work of great composers for me to hear recordings over and over again. Nevertheless, I played it for my choral group, and they jumped all over it. That's the market audience. Bravo, Mr. Warland.

Amazing.......2005-12-26

I've been a fan of the Dale Warland Singers for a long time, and attended many of their concerts. This recording displays perfectly what the choir was capable of. I listen to it constantly. Many of these arrangements are the best I've heard of these songs. "Deep River" is better than that of Chanticleer or Cantus. "She'll be Comin Round the Mountain" is really fun. I got the chance to sing it a few years ago and will never forget it. You NEED to buy this CD. It's well worth the money.

Exquisite.......2005-12-18

Buy this album! This is the finest recording I have purchased this year. The exquisite tonality and the arrangements have kept me listening every day. The audio quality is outstanding - balanced, finely nuanced, lovely soundstage. If you enjoy choral music, purchase this album - NOW.

Exquisite.......2005-11-16

I purchased this on a whim and it is been in my 5-disc player ever since. I have always loved choral settings of folk songs and hymns (with one exception - "The Water is Wide" should never ever ever be sung by a chorus - it doesn't work, but it is the only track I skip on this disc). The selections are all old favorites in often harmonically lush arrangements. Hawley's arrangement of "Not One Sparrow" is transcendent and has become my morning prayer, "Lay Me Low" my evening meditation. The singing is as near perfect as can be, musicality is stunning, and technical merits are high. I cannot recommend this disc enough.

Emotional and poignant.......2005-11-07

On Harvest Home, the Dale Warland Singers delve into the rich legacy of mostly American sacred and folk music. With the lush vocal orchestrations and thoughtful arrangements, many of these familiar songs take on new life and emotional depth.

As a boy, I grew up in the Mennonite church tradition and one of the distinctive things about our church services was the a cappella 4-part harmony. As I got older, I thought this was a bit odd and wished we used instruments in church like most people. In looking back now, I am thankful for that tradition and what it taught me about music and harmony.

Throughout high school I was involved with choral groups, doing several programs each year. The first year after high school I spent a few months at a religious school that had a long-standing tradition of chorale music. I well remember the hours of rehearsal to get the song just right, practicing enunciation and dynamics and expression.

So when I hear a group like the Dale Warland Singers, I have a small insight into the dedication it takes to do choral music at the level of this recording. These are singers and a director at the top of their game, with attention to detail everywhere, creativity in the arrangements and technical brilliance. And what a vocal range, with "how low can they go" bass and sopranos that my normal laptop headphones have trouble reproducing without distortion.

I've long been a fan of spirituals; they are at times moving to hear, at times playful and fun (and can be even more fun to sing). This album features a couple of my favorites: "Shall We Gather At The River" and "Deep River". Upon first hearing this rendition of the latter, I was nearly moved to tears by the stark beauty and emotional depth of this arrangement. It's a prime example of the power of music to take us places emotionally and connect us with the deeper feelings and longings of the soul.

In addition to several spirituals, there is a unique variety of other religious pieces pulled from the traditions of Quakers and Baptists among others. The album also mines some rich treasures from the Shaker tradition, including the comforting "Not One Sparrow Is Forgotten" and the poignant tenderness of "Lay Me Low', with the simple text of

Lay me low where the Lord can find me, where the Lord can own me, where the Lord can bless me

Not everything leans towards the serious or sacred though. A fun, light-hearted arrangement of "She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain" (arr. by Emma Lou Diemer) features bouncing bass lines and lots of syncopation and sibilance to keep things interesting. And the traditional Dixie folk song "Cindy" tells the story of a heartsick man with tongue-in-cheek lyrics that playfully bounce from part to part.

The liner notes are exceptional, with lots of helpful historic and musical notes on the various selections. This is one of the final albums from The Dale Warland Singers after 31 years. The group disbanded in May 2004 so that the founder Dale Warland could focus more on teaching, consulting and guest conducting. He certainly has left his mark on the choral landscape and this recording is no exception. Highly recommended if you appreciate choral music, especially traditional folk and sacred selections.

There's a commercial inevitability to holiday song collections that can tempt music fans to mutter "humbug" under their breath. Yet while this collection (released in conjunction with the Tenors' Christmas Spectacular tour of 2003) is no less market savvy, in the end the trio's earnest, energetic performances earn their fair shair of respect. The trio's Celtic shadings impart considerable warmth to "Fairytale of New York" and other performances, but it's the range of influences they (also in solo and duet turns, all solidly backed by the Czech National Chamber Orchestra) bring to bear elsewhere that adds compelling new dimensions to these holiday favorites. Anthony Kearns' "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" may be solidly traditional, but Ronan Tynan imparts "I'll Be Home For Christmas" with some deft, jazzy drama while Finbar Wright gives "Mary's Boy Child" an unexpected Carribean spin. Elsewhere, the folk-classical influences behind "We Three Kings," "O Holy Night," and the gospel traditional "How Great Thou Art" span renaissance, baroque, and modern with a grace missing from the on-the-sleeve sentiments of the closing duo of patriotic warhorses--what would the Prince of Peace make of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," anyway? --Jerry McCulley

We Three Kings.......2007-01-16

The 3 Irish Tenors are a joy to listen to in the Christmas season. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

3 Tenors Christmas.......2007-01-12

This was VERY disappointing - too noisy & just the wrong type of music for these guys. I played it once & will try to get someone to take it off my hands - I love listening the them, usually, but this album is just a dud.

Beautiful and Amazing.......2004-12-18

When I fist listened to the clips from this CD on Amazon I wondered why on earth they put the patriotic songs at the end, and also wondered a little at the other non christmas songs. After listening to it several times however I realized why. They don't leave Jesus in the manger, but take him all the way up to today! Wow. To me that is totally amazing. There arn't many christmas CD's that do that, but I think it really balances things out. I really enjoyed the Drummer Boy, and all of the rest of the songs. I would definantly say that this was a good buy.

These Three Kings Rule!.......2004-04-24

This recording is a wonderful addition to any Christmas collection. It has power, charm and just enough reverence! Anthony Kearn's "Lord's Prayer" is magnificent! Finbar Wright's "How Great Thou Art" is awe-inspiring! After four years with the "Irish Tenors" poor Mr. Wright still must endure the ignorance of a few "fans", being constantly compared to John McDermott. Finbar took the "Irish Tenors" to a new level, as acknowledged by both Kearns and Tynan. I wonder how long "Ringo" had to endure being compared to Peter Best? Get over it people!

Another Winner.......2003-12-22

In their second Christmas album, the three Irish tenors have another very lovely collection of Christmas favorites and a few not so well known. The duets are particularly beautiful and, while I, like other reviewers, would have preferred an all-Christmas album, the American anthems are stirring and well done. My only caveat is the absence of John McDermott, whom I miss. His voice added something less homogenized to the mix and although Finbar Wright has a more operatic tenor voice, I would prefer McDermott if I had my druthers. Nonetheless, this a a grand Christmas album and I recommend it enthusiastically.

Lerner & Loewe Songbook.......2006-02-24

If you like Percy Faith's music, you'll like this one. He quit recording and died much too young. But while he lived, he recorded some great music.

Wouldn't it be lovely?.......2005-09-26

This CD represents some of the best of Broadway done in a great pops style. There are five orchestral suites, one each for the following: 'Camelot', 'My Fair Lady', 'Gigi', 'Paint Your Wagon', and 'Bridgadoon'. They are all arranged for orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, save that for 'Paint Your Wagon', which was arranged by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra director Erich Kunzel.

The works of Lerner and Loewe were a mainstay of Broadway for decades in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, but it was during the late 50s and early 60s that their true glory days took hold. The presidential term of John F. Kennedy gained the nickname 'Camelot' in part because of the influence of the Lerner and Loewe production going on at the start. The songs contained in these suites are instantly recognisable by many, as the Lerner and Loewe songs have become so well known that many know the songs better than the musicals or the composers from which they come. 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'Wouldn't It Be Lovely' come from 'My Fair Lady', 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' from 'Gigi' - these are but the most of famous of the familiar tunes.

There are a lot of pieces here that the listener will appreciate, both in remembering old pieces or in learning new nuances to the tunes.

This particular disc by Telarc has a feature called 'Spatializer', which gives a three-dimensional quality to the sterophonic sound, enhancing regular players and working well with surround-sound systems, too. The Cincinnati Pops are expert at this kind of music, having produced dozens of CDs of popular music and modern composers of musicals, film music, and pops-oriented major compositions.

This is a fun disc to have.

A Successful Sequel.......2005-08-03

This CD is a follow-up to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Songbook for Orchestra (1991) from the same team. It is a thoroughly successful sequel: I believe anyone who enjoyed the R&H will enjoy this one as well. If I am very slightly less enthusiastic about this one than the R&H, it's not because of any shortcoming of Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops, or Telarc, all of whom are at the top of their form. Rather it's because Frederick Loewe, for all his undoubted expertise, is not quite in the same class as a composer with Richard Rodgers. But that's asking a lot, since Rodgers was the American musical theater's leading light. Lerner & Loewe's musicals were second only to R&H's during the golden age of the American musical, and their My Fair Lady is by any standard one of the best musicals ever staged. If Loewe did not create as many unforgettable numbers as Rodgers, he nevertheless wrote many delightful songs and much enjoyable music. This CD features five orchestral suites, ranging in length from 9 to 18 minutes (total playing time 68:06), from Brigadoon (1947), Paint Your Wagon (1951), My Fair Lady (1956), Gigi (film 1958; staged 1973), and Camelot (1960). The arrangements (all but one by Robert Russell Bennett) are expert. The performances are masterly (if perhaps lacking in just a tad of the infectious brio that the same team brought to R&H). And Telarc's robust sound (recorded 1993) would be hard to improve on. Warmly recommended.

Delightful Listening.......1998-12-05

Some of the nicest and nearly forgotten music (Paint your Wagon & Brigadoon) is nicely compiled here. It will make you want to listen to the full soundtracks again, but for a quick tour of Lerner & Lowe, it is very nice.

The sound of the CD is less than poor.......2007-03-15

This estimation is not for the music or vocal, but for the sound of this
CD only! The remastering was made with large damage for the sound. It is
a very pity, that I did not read the review for this CD, which was written
at July 27, 2006. That review is objective absolutely.

Shoddy sound, and STILL not in stereo.......2006-07-28

This recent re-release of this classic album was such a disappointment. Although the album was RECORDED in stereo, it has never been released on CD in full stereo. The first release, (on the Collectables label) has half the songs in mono, and the other half in stereo. The sound quality still left a lot to be desired. On this supposedly "remastered" release from Atlantic in England, ALL the songs are in mono, and the sound quality just as shoddy. There is distortion on the high and mid frequencies. Some instruments are too forward in the mix, while others are difficult to hear. In fact, i dare say it sounds worse than some of those early Beatles recordings which have not been remastered in 20 years.

You might be thinking, "Well, maybe the recordings themselves are just poor, and they did the best they could." Unlikely. There was a great Torme box set from Rhino that came out about 10 years ago, which included 2 songs from this album. They were both in stereo, mixed fantastically, and sounded great. No distortion. All instruments were clear and defined. Those same two songs on this release and previous ones are either awful-sounding mono or awful-sounding stereo.

So what gives? I know the quality could be better, as i've heard it. So why the crappy job on the sound? Ironically, the sister album to this one (Songs of New York), has been re-released alongside this one from Atlantic England. It certainly has been remastered. The sound is far better, clear, and all in stereo.

Well, here's what DOES merit the two stars for this release. Like most jazz/pop artists recording a theme album at that time, he recorded 12 jazz selections for the album. Atlantic dropped 2, and replaced them with two rock/jazz/lounge numbers that don't fit the theme of the rest of the album at all. Well, although they didn't drop the unnecessary songs from this release, they DID add back on the two missing songs from these sessions. This is the first time they have been released on the album. Too bad they, too, sound like crap. Those 12 songs are good cool swingin' jazz... not GREAT...but good. Even if the sound on this album was impeccable, the album still would be several choices down in most Torme fans' lists of best albums.

If you want some great Torme jazz from this time period, get ANY of the Verve CD's from the late 50's and early 60's...especially "Duke Ellington and Count Basie Songsbooks," and "Swings Shubert Alley." Both are in stereo, and sound great. If you don't mind mono recordings, there are many that sound GOOD. Go with "Lulu's Back in Town" and "Sings Fred Astaire," both on the Bethlehem label from the mid-50's. There's a lot of great jazz out there if you know where to look.

Hip,cool & underground.......2006-02-21

This fomat of songs puts Mel Torme right in the for front of modern cool. His voice + the back up orchestration makes this l.p. speak for itself.

Comin' Home Jazz Fans.......2005-12-17

The 1960's represented a very interesting time for musicians of all genres; three particular reasons began a trend for future generations of musical artists. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones were the 3 reasons which permanently altered the musical landscape and basically made it impossible for stars of the past to remain economically viable in the present. The only 2 exceptions to the rule of course were Mel Tormé and Frank Sinatra.

Tormé's classic album, Comin' Home Baby has recently been re-released; digitally remastered and cleaned up, one can hear the sweet sounds of the Velvet Fog in all of its glory the way it was intended to be heard.

In early 1962 Mel Tormé had firmly come to terms with the fact that the musical landscape was percolating something in the clubs and bars where the people hang out. This new musical dynamo was going to act like a brick wall, on not only himself, but basically anyone from his background and genre unless change happened.

Mel walked into the studio in 1962 determined to stay relevant and absorb the new and combine it to his big band swinging style. Frank Sinatra decided to do much the same thing in the 1960's. Comin' Home Baby was the 1st of 5 albums that Mel recorded and released in the 1960's that attempted to meld Rock `n' Roll with Jazz & Big Band.

It was very much worth the work and effort; although many jazz purists dismiss this era of Mel Tormé's with a angry waive of a modern day puritan hand, why, I'm not sure to be honest. Being trapped in cage of the past is something that many jazz listeners are known for. The self titled lead off single, "Comin' Home Baby", from this album made the top 10 in the charts and acted as beacon call for jazz and big band fans that jazz still had a place in the charts only it needed to evolve into rock `n' roll to remain relevant.

The highlight from the album is, "Lady's In Love With You", which showcases the most powerful Mel Tormé phrasing and vocal I have ever hard. The classic Tormé tracks, "Puttin' On The Ritz" and "Hi Fi" have a very similar vocal and phrasing technique as Lady.

"Sing You Sinners" highlights the toe tapping phrase rapping Mel Tormé that so many of us have loved over the years. The Dean Martin classic tune, "You Belong To Me", has a gentle re-working which fits into the set as well.

The album also has that rock and jazz tune, "Right Now" which was the B-Side to "Comin' Home Baby" that shows Mel Tormé stretching the jazz genre into rock `n' roll.

Go out and buy this album, it has aged very well, and deserves a solid 5 out of 5 stars

The start of my jazz years.......2005-09-16

Great to see this album re-released in the one package (plus the two extra tracks not on the original release).
This is the album that converted me to Mel Torme, apart from the two "hits" comin home baby and right now it contains some fabulous arrangements of some of the emerging standards of the time. Until this album I was a presley and darrin fan. Never again. Along with undercurrent (Bill Evans/Jim Hall) and Ella in Berlin it changed my musical life for the better.

Worth It For "Mr. G." Alone.......2006-03-25

I concur with the reviewer that found some weak spots in the album, but it's so true that "Groovin'For Mr. G." is perhaps one of the best organ jams ever. Groove never got the level of attention like that of Jimmy Smith, but he ranks right up there with him and the likes of Milt Buckner and Jack McDuff. If you like B-3 organ, you gotta have some Groove Holmes in your collection

great stuff.......2006-03-17

This CD is an important part of music history. We may never see a human so in tune with the hammond organ again. Hell- they hardly make these organs anymore! Good jazz, blues and funk. If you can play like this guy, I want your details, and we'll make an awesome funk album together.

A much sampled Blue Note album.......2002-06-09

Neither time nor remastering can hide the fact that this is an album of two parts; one part VERY funky ( and hence much sampled) and one half music that has dated quite considerably. When it's good, such as on "Groovin' for Mr G", "Down home funk" and Bobby Timmon's "This here" it's an excellent slab of churning bluesy material that really cooks. Elsewhere it contains material that illustrates the limitations of the line up. On "Theme from Love Story" and A.C.Jobim's "Wave" there's not enough 'Groove Holmes', and altogether too much space for Weldon Irvine on electric piano - the recorded sound of the piano is not that great, and Gerald Hubbard on guitar struggles for space. "Don't mess with me" has scat interventions from percussionist James Davis. The remastering might also have made more of the thunderous bass sound from Jerry Jemmott (Chuck Rainey replaces him on the Love Story theme). It was all recorded on one day in 1971 and perhaps could have benefitted from more arrangement time. That said, the three tracks that I mentioned at the top of the review probably make the mid price entrance fee worthwhile, and especially for the 4.10 of "Groovin' for Mr G" . Buy it and spot all the use that's been made of those tracks, down the years, by those crafty samplers!

a good combination of great songs. The choir's voices are sweet and melancholy. If you enjoy the old folk songs, you'll enjoy this cd.
