Glee! A Celebration of the Collegiate Choral Tradition

GLEE! is an ECMC concert CD recorded live on Sunday, May 20, 2012 at The Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn, New York.

Starting with the partsongs of 17th century England for men’s voices known as “glees”, we will trace the roots of the collegiate choral tradition. Our musical journey will encompass alma maters, fight songs, the a cappellatradition, and compositions by notable college choral directors and composers that have shaped the American choral landscape. Relive those bright college years!
