Title: A SONIC ORGY
Product review: This CD can only be described as "a sonic orgy" or "a celebration of sound efects". I'm very disappointed at this compilation. A good example of this cacaphony (as one reviewer puts it) is "This land is your land". I have to stop this piece after the first 90 seconds, the orgy then takes effect. The choir, on the other hand, deserves high marks for the songs it seems to have sung countless times, like "Battle hymn of the republic" or "The Star-spangled banner". But, as I have said before, the habit they have of adding orchestras and brass choirs is a distraction from the singing. In that way, they may be typically American, where bigger seems to be the equivalent of better. I still love the art they displayed in the LP 'A Mighty Fortress". That is the choir at its very best.
