DESCRIPTION
A beautiful collection of favorites,
both sacred and secular, from the repertoire of this renowned children’s
choir,
Voices of Light
is the debut recording of Paul Halley’s Chorus Angelicus.
A bountiful potpourri, this album highlights such favorites as Britten’s Missa Brevis, Halley’s Les Petits Troubadours, the classic spiritual Rock-A My Soul, and the luminous title cut, composed for Chorus Angelicus and flutist Rhonda Larson.

from The American
Organist Magazine
"This
batch of recordings reflects the enormous range of Paul Halley's
interests and talents. Selections on Voices of Light range from the
"seriously" classical to the unabashedly popular, with most of the
latter arranged in simple unison or two-part settings for chorus and
accompaniment. Impressive as a sampler of the youthful ensembles in
various moods, the abrupt changes in compositional style - exemplified
by "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" coming close upon the heels of
Britten's "Agnus Dei" - will send some listeners searching for their
"program" buttons. The lack of a text insert is unfortunate, too,
especially in the case of Les Petits Troubadors de Dieu with its close
interaction between voices and instruments. These flaws, in addition to
other momentary lapses in intonation and vocal quality, will limit the
appeal of this recording for the general collector."
