"The SF Boys Chorus, founded as a resource for the San Francisco Opera in 1948, has developed into one of America's foremost musical and educational institutions for singing boys. Over the years the chorus has regularly provided boys for choruses and solos for the SF Opera, Symphony, Ballet and the Carmel Bach Festival. Officially named "SF's Singing Ambassadors to the World," the chorus has performed in Carnegie Hall and toured in Europe, Russia, Japan, Korea, Italy and Australia. "We're On Our Way" has 16 songs, particularly nice are the 6 movements of Mozart's "Missa Brevis in C, K.220," and his "Laudate Dominum," Cesar Franck's "Panis Angelicus," Henry Purcell's "Sound the Trumpet," Schubert's "Ave Maria," F. Coppola's sweet "Little Moon," and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu from 'Requiem." All piano, organ or orchestrally (by the SF Boys Chorus Orchestra) accompanied. Truly lovely!" |
"All 17 songs are accompanied, by everything from organ and the SFBC Orchestra to piano and congas. Beginning with Handel's "Coronation Anthem No. 1," and Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus," the Chorus continues with 6 songs from Haydn's "Missa Brevis St. Joannis De Deo," and 3 pieces from Mozart's "Zauberflöte" (The Magic Flute). Then we have "America the Beautiful," "An American Hymn," "South African Freedom Song," "Bless the Lord," the Scandinavian folk tune "Who Can Sail" and the final tune, the immortal Stephen Foster's "Some Folks." The singing is lovely, especially the guest sopranos and tenor on "Die Zauberflote." A beautifully packaged, impressive CD by one of the best boys' choruses we've heard." |
