GLAD: Voices of Christmas ~ Audio CD
Glad is regarded as one of the finest vocal ensembles in the a cappella community bringing new and exciting arrangements to songs of Christmas past. This "humbug repellent" will bring joy to your home and create a harmonious atmosphere to all those who hear. If you like lush harmony, you'll love this CD! The five men of GLAD joyfully sing incredibly sophisticated arrangements. Their opener "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" has shades of Singers Unlimited, while the opening refrain of "Go Tell it On the Mountain" is reminiscent of Take 6. Ed Nalle's sweet lead on "The First Noel" is classic GLAD. "The warmth of the human voice celebrating the wonder of the incarnation..."-- this simple phrase embodies both the purpose and uniqueness of Voices of Christmas--a collection of Christ-centered songs released in 2000, each designed to encourage the listener to bow at the manger--and the throne--in worship. Eight well-known Christmas selections, plus two original songs, all with trademark harmonies and innovative arrangements. SONGS ARE: 1. IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR 2. GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN 3. ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY 4. THE FIRST NOEL 5. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH 6. O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM 7. ALL PRAISE TO YOU 8. GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN 9. WHAT CHILD IS THIS 10. ALL THE WORLD WAS WAITING
