CHILDREN’s CHOIR LAUNCHES THEIR EIGHTH CD RECORDING
The Eastern Cape Children’s Choir (ECCC) launched our eighth CD recording on Friday, 29 July, at a cocktail function in the Port Elizabeth City Hall.
The CD, named Towerklanke, follows almost exactly one year after the launch of our popular Christmas CD, and promises to be a warm favourite with music lovers. Most of the works on the CD were recorded in October 2010, shortly after the choir’s return from their tenth European tour.
The CD contains 18 cuts, including two full masses by the Romantic composer Josef Rheinberger and 20th century composer Benjamin Britten. Other sacred works include the beautiful Laudate Dominum (KV339) by WA Mozart, a beautiful rendition of Psalm 23 by Franz Schubert and the ever popular Amazing Grace.
Secular works vary from Bizet’s Chorus of the Cigarette Sellers from the opera Carmen to the popular Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz, as well as arrangements of two popular Miriam Makeba songs. See our Recordings page for detailed information on the contents.
The CD, an ideal gift and true product of the Eastern Cape, is available directly from the choir. For more information and orders, please contact choir chairperson Henriette Visser at info@eccchoir.com, or 083 327 9220 (after 2pm).
