Covid-19 Sessions - Cantus - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Covid-19 Sessions is an album by Cantus, released in 2022. The album is a classical CD.

In August 2020, Signum Classics began releasing Cantus’ COVID-19 Sessions. Recorded on March 17, 19, and 20 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the COVID-19 Sessions came together quickly as society began to shut down amidst the growing outbreak in the United States.

First released on YouTube and Facebook in the spring of 2020, the tracks racked up millions of views, leading to a series of digital singles . Available together now for the first time, the pieces span a great breadth of emotion, from joy to sorrow to wonder to pain. The choir add: "We hope you will find the performances themselves informed by the emotional states in which they were recorded – heightened at different times in different ways."

Composers:Traditional, Jean Sibelius, Hugo Alfvén, Ysaÿe M. Barnwell, Eric Whitacre, Billy Joel, Mari Esabel Valverde, Hildegard von Bingen, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Bob Gibson, Abbie Betinis, Andrea Ramsey, Kathleen Allan, Chris Foss, Shinpei Nakayama and Franz Biebl.
