Dello Joio: "Meditations on Ecclesiates" is a musical interpretation of the opening verses in Chapter 111 of Ecclesiastes. The composer was awarded the Pulitizer Prize for this work.

Hovhaness: "Psalm and Fugue" is written in the spirit of Handel Choruses.
"Shepherd of Israel"" is a work dedicated to the founding of the State of Israel.

Rosner: "Responses, Hosanna, and Fugue" is a work which recalls responsorial singing in the mosque, the synagogue or innumerable denominations of the churches.

Gramophone Magazine - October 2002
"Strong performance of persuasive 20th century American music."

A rare treasure of sacred compositions by Norman Dello Joio, Alan Hovhaness and Arnold Rosner.
