Kantorei releases 'little tree'



little tree

Kantorei is excited to announce the release of our latest CD, little tree. The perfect way to enjoy the holiday season, little tree features Kantorei's favorite live recordings from our last several Christmas concerts. Featured on recording are two wonderful settings of e.e. cummings' holiday text, 'little tree.' The first, by composer Steven Heitzeg, features the choir accompanied by harp in a soft, contemplative setting. Heitzeg’s composition is contrasted by that of world-renowned composer Eric Whitacre, who sets the text for choir with piano accompaniment in a warm, joyous setting.

Also included on the CD are several heart-warming arrangements of familiar holiday carols including ‘I Saw Three Ships,’ ‘Away in a Manger,’ and audience favorite, ‘Silent Night.’ Sure to become a holiday classic, little tree will no doubt usher in the warmth and joy of the Christmas season.
