Pugsley, the Gloriae Dei Cantores choir, and conductor Peter Jermihov began studying and preparing extensively to record this masterpiece. Gloriae Dei Cantores' is known for their extensive commitment to the vision of the composer and the expression of the text through the music. The search for authenticity, direct empathy with each word and phrase, and the premise of a religious approach were aspirations that prompted and sustained the vision for this project. Rachmaninoff, although not an avid church goer, was, unquestionably, a pious Orthodox Christian. The spiritual and cultural roots of sacred music were ingrained into his consciousness. This recording, and accompanying fifty-two page booklet, explores Rachmaninoff's vision and intention in a work that has become known as the crowning achievement of the Golden age of Russian Orthodox sacred choral music. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gloriae Dei Cantores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13881314279482,"sku":"9781612617008","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/8889\/6826\/files\/9781612617008.jpg?v=1724669502"},{"product_id":"the-doctrine-of-wisdom","title":"The Doctrine of Wisdom","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eGloriæ Dei Cantores celebrates the exuberance and touching humanity of this great Welsh composer.

One of the missions of Gloriae Dei Cantores is to preserve in recordings worthy American sacred music that would otherwise be neglected. This splendid oratorio certainly fits that category and has been performed by large choral groups for more than fifty years. James Weldon Johnson wanted to portray the “old-time preacher” from the early 19th century that was rapidly disappearing by the 1920’s. When Myers composed the work, he said he wanted to blend the best elements of a church choir, folksongs and Afro-American spirituals. The result is a work full of energy, warmth, good fun and a dose of Americana. Gloriae Dei Cantores is proud to re-release this recording, as part of their effort towards the preservation of American sacred music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gloriae Dei Cantores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19756849758266,"sku":"9781612619965","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/8889\/6826\/products\/9781612619965.jpg?v=1618831272"},{"product_id":"the-bells-of-christmas","title":"The Bells of Christmas","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMore than 20,000 copies sold! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bells of Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e will fill your home with the joyful and sparkling sound of handbells, performed by the dynamic ensemble, \u003cb\u003eGloriæ Dei Ringers.\u003c\/b\u003e Playing on a five-and-a-half octave set of Malmark shiny brass handbells, these ringers explore the full range of Christmas cheer and wonder—from the tenderness of \u003ci\u003eAway in a Manger\u003c\/i\u003e to the majestic expanse of \u003ci\u003eA Flight of Angels. \u003c\/i\u003eEach carol showcase tremendous musicality and the unique spirit of handbells!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eFeatured Carols include:\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Good Christian Men, Rejoice \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e March of the Kings \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 'Twas Christmas Eve \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Twelve Days of Christmas \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Child Is This? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Away in a Manger \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Carols in Color \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Flight of Angels \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bellfest \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coventry Carol \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ding Dong!
