About

Dorian Sono Luminus is proud to present this album featuring premiere recordings of the Sacred Choral music of Dave Brubeck.

Dave Brubeck is one of the most well-known jazz pianists of all time. He is also a fluent, developed musician, exploring new avenues in composition and performance, and lauded around the world.

This album featuring all of Brubeck's Sacred Choral music (less “Sleep Holy Infant, Sleep”), is performed by the Grammy nominated group The Pacific Mozart Ensemble, for whom some of the pieces were written and with whom Mr Brubeck has worked closely. The album also features the Multi-Grammy nominated ensemble Quartet San Francisco who received 2 nominations for the 52nd Annual Grammy awards.

The album starts with the premiere recording of Brubeck’s 3 part Canticles. This work features the English texts prepared by Lola Brubeck and a smaller instrumental ensemble arrangement done by Pacific Mozart Ensemble’s music director Lynne Morrow and performed by Quartet San Francisco. Following the Canticles are four holiday works that can be enjoyed year round.

Also performed is the premiere recording of Brubeck’s Commandments, inspired by his time spent serving in the US Army during World War II, which he writes about in the included liner notes. The album continues with Brubeck’s setting of Psalm 23, followed by a Credo written for Pacific Mozart Ensemble’s 25th anniversary concert. Concluding the album is a prayerful Benediction also written for the ensemble.

This album, recorded at world famous Skywalker Sound, is sure to enlighten, uplift and entertain classical and jazz fans alike.
