Comment:

glō'bal
a. world-wide; pertaining to or embracing the whole of a group.

chor'al (k-)
a. 1. of or sung by choir; 2. (read or said) by group of voices; of or with chorus.



I've been delaying the creation of a sequel to Global Choral for so long that I

now find I have accumulated a stockpile of tracks-in-waiting. As it turns out, enough for a four CD set.

Again the concept is choral music that spans time and geography. The net has been widened at times, stretching & abusing those above definitions, but the

spirit remains the same.
And, in truth, I find these volumes are about as 'global' as the first mix; that is, not really representative of the entire globe that we live upon but

predominantly sourced from within a quarter of that area. So be it, those are my tastes and "Quarter Sphere Choral" just doesn't have the same appeal to it

:)



Volume three starts further afield than most taking a Christian church song from the island of Biak, Irian Jaya. The Christianity in far away places then

moves to Kenya for Boniface Mganga and the Muungano National Choir performing the Kyrie from a Congolese Mass for mixed voices and percussion (with a lovely

'call and response' style).

Sussan Deyhim was a professional ballerina before she turned to singing and producing some truly amazing albums.

Arrigo Boito was a poet and novelist as well as being a composer. He only completed one opera, Mefistofele, and spent the next 54 years of his life

unsuccessfully trying to complete a second.
