Historically important choral music, wonderfully performed!.......2004-05-25

For over 10 years, The VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and Chorus (conducted by Philip Brunelle) has presented an enduring series of concerts showcasing the talents of trailblazing African American composers. Now this wealth of music is available outside the concert hall through a series of recordings called WITNESS.

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD presents 20th Century choral arrangements of music from the African American spiritual tradition rooted in spirituals and gospels, including Harry T. Burleigh's "My Lord, What a Mornin'" (1929), "Walk Together Children" (William Henry Smith, 1937) and more contemporary composers like Sanford Moore's "Go Tell It On The Mountain" (1993.)

There are excellent notes about the genre, however, in light of the historical significance of this music I'm surprised and disappointed to find no biographical information about the composers, not even birth and/or death dates, with this CD. I feel this is a crucial component in an "outreach" project like this, especially since most of these composers are not well known. Still I highly recommend it for the music alone.

The other three CDs are available as single titles, or in the boxed set THE WITNESS COLLECTION which includes:

Tracks:

Victory
Love Isn't Love
Go Tell Somebody
Cry On
Who Do Men Say I Am
Hide The Word
Learn To Pray
Running Back To You

Constant Encouragement.......2002-07-16

What can I say about Commissioned? I got this album in my 3rd year in high school and instantly became hooked on their music.The best part about the lyrics is that you CAN relate to them. Take for instance "CRY ON".....'when your burden seems to weigh you down....cry on, God understands your tears..", or VICTORY?..."hold your peace...vengence is mine", or...you know what, I could go on cuz I know each one by heart!!
They are a constant source of encouragement to me...whenever I feel down, I pull out one of my albums and I can be sure to feel better.
Try it....a GUARANTEED cure (or a guaranteed point in the right direction) for what ails the heart, mind, body, and the soul.

Glad I was listening..........2001-05-28

When I first heard this album, I was in the world and trying to build a diverse music collection. What was built instead was my love for Christ and the way that Commissioned delivered the message. This upbeat and solemn praise to God gave me something to bop to, to meditate on, and to accept Jesus into my life. I'm so glad I was listening.
