Cappella Records is pleased to announce the November 19, 2021, release of Benedict Sheehan’s Vespers, an Eastern Orthodox Vespers performed in English by the GRAMMY®-nominated Sain t Tikhon Choir, conducted by the composer. Inspired by the great All-Night Vigil setting by Rachmaninoff, Sheehan’s composition expands the genre with full settings of Psalms, each of which expresses a full range of human emotion. Vespers also features virtuosic vocal concertos, including the first forbasso profundo in English, sung by the great American basso profundo Glenn Miller. Music that projects a vision of hope and light for all. Show more
