Choir Cam

If you read this during our studio sessions, you can watch the action (no audio, sorry!) from the Choir Cam, located in an isolation booth in our studio. We rehearse in the morning and record in the afternoon (usually from 2-6).
This project is quite different from the last three we've done: instead of ancient Latin hymns, we are singing inspirational pop-style songs (several decades' worth). (The CD jacket will probably enhance the songs with a more explicit dimension of faith and prayer.) It will be the sort of gift you can give a person who does not have any religious faith, but which will still offer an uplift or encouragement, and maybe even genuine hope.
Counting on your prayers for us as we record, and for the people this album will reach, especially those who will encounter it at a time of deep need.

Your Chicago choir director, who spends a great deal of time in recording studios with deliciously efficient professional singers and instrumentalists, is quite taken with this simple statement of yours. I record pages and pages of sacred music and rarely if ever is such a profound thought on my mind, for when considering the intention of this music, perhaps the sentiment should be perpetually affixed in my brain. Best of luck with the recording.
