The Road Home - CD

Taking its title from Stephen Paulus' a cappella choral piece, 'The Road Home' celebrates the diverse and every-changing influences that make up American culture by featuring repertoire by immigrant and native-born Americans, ranging from mid-19th-century Shaker music to jazz, folk, and classically inspired works by leading 21st-century choral composers, all beautifully performed by the assured Santa Fe Desert Chorale conducted by artistic director Joshua Habermann.
