Oberlin College Choir Conductor Robert Fountain - Vol 8

Review by Heather Donkers

The Oberlin College Choir's Vol 8 album, conducted by Robert Fountain, is a beautifully crafted choral masterpiece. The album features a collection of sacred and secular choral works, performed with precision and emotion by the talented choir.

The album opens with the uplifting "Sing Joyfully" by William Byrd, which showcases the choir's impeccable harmony and dynamic range. The choir's rendition of "Ave Maria" by Franz Biebl is particularly remarkable, with the harmonies building to a breathtaking climax.

Fountain's direction brings out the best in the choir, as they deliver a moving performance of "Sure On This Shining Night" by Samuel Barber. The choir's interpretation of "The Battle of Jericho" is equally impressive, with the powerful vocals and energetic tempo creating an electrifying atmosphere.

The album concludes with the hauntingly beautiful "Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre, which showcases the choir's ability to create an ethereal and otherworldly sound.
