About

This new edition is released in the 50th year since Leo Sowerby’s passing on 9 July 1968. Leo Sowerby: American Master of Sacred Song celebrates “the Dean of American Church Music” and his contributions to the choral and organ repertory. Glorić Dei Cantores has selected ten anthems to represent Sowerby as an inspired composer for worship as well as several sacred vocal solos and four of his finest works for organ. The CD set is crowned with a rare performance of Sowerby’s Festival Musick for brass and organ. Sowerby’s rich harmonies and exciting vocal writing capture the listener in such texts as Great is the Lord, O God, the Protector of All, Come, Holy Ghost and Turn Thou to Thy God. His organ music shows a rare ear for colour and texture and his style, attractive and accessible, is timeless. As with many of Glorić Dei Cantores’ recordings, this one contains much music not available elsewhere.

Glorić Dei Cantores (Singers to the Glory of God), holds a passionate dedication to illuminate truth and beauty through choral artistry, celebrating a rich tradition of sacred choral music from Gregorian chant through the twenty-first century. Currently under the direction of Richard K Pugsley, Glorić Dei Cantores has received critical acclaim for its artistic elegance, performance authenticity, and compelling spirituality. Sharing its vision of inspiration and hope, the choir has toured extensively, touching the hearts of audiences in twenty-four countries in Europe, Asia, and North America. Its discography of over fifty recordings is distributed internationally through Paraclete Recordings, a division of Paraclete Press, Inc., and NAXOS, Inc. The choir makes its home in Orleans, MA.
