American choirs sound quite different from British ones in the main, and one may wonder about the feasibility of performing American works in a British collegiate choral style, as is done here. However, this collection works nicely, and there are several reasons for this. The biggest is the web of interconnections between the choral traditions explored on this release by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, and director Graham Ross. The program kicks off with Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, composed for Britain's Southern Choirs Festival in 1965. Those wondering what Herbert Howells is doing on a program of this kind will learn that his Take Him, Earth, for Cherishing was written as a memorial to John F. Kennedy. Eric Whitacre has worked extensively in Britain, and it is delightful to have his Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine as the finale here rather than the ubiquitous Lux aurumque. Another point in the collection's favor is that the choir is composed of adult male and female voices, not boys. Bernstein preferred boys in the Psalms but agreed to the possibility of adult female singers, and they work better in this context. The folk song Shenandoah sounds a bit exotic here, but no more so than any number of American performances of British choral music. The bottom line is that this is a pleasing performance of a variety of American pieces, a bit on the restrained side perhaps, but fully idiomatic and enjoyable.
