We're Back!

Well, we are finally back blogging! A lot has changed in the hiatus, most importantly being that we are now distributed by Naxos of America!

To find out more about this change, check out the Official Press Release from Naxos on Marketwire.com:

Called, “Eternal Light”, it features new sacred choral music---some selections “a cappella”, and others with a single instrument---flute, clarinet or bassoon. The major premiere is a 25-minute, four-movement setting of the Agnus Dei by the Norwegian composer Egil Hovland. It is recorded in the sumptuous acoustics of St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Greenville, NC and is truly one of the most beautiful recordings we have ever made.

For upcoming organ recordings, we have just finished two projects---a recording of the Great Organ of the Washington National Cathedral with Scott Dettra (which starts with Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man”) and the complete organ works of Jean Titelouze, France’s first organ composer, recorded by Robert Bates on an organ from 1630 which Titelouze probably played at some time during his tenure as Cathedral organist in Rouen...
