The second of this new American choral music from the Washington National Cathedral features the popular composer (and UMBC Professor) Stephen Caracciolo, whose works have been performed and broadcast by many groups nationwide, including Cantus.

This is also the first recording of an elite new choral ensemble, Cathedra, based at the Washington National Cathedral and directed by Michael McCarthy.

From the composer’s website:
Cathedra, under the direction of Michael McCarthy, has a new release on the GOTHIC label of choral works by composer Stephen Caracciolo. A fine project beautifully produced by Malcolm Bruno, the sessions were recorded by the professional choir at Washington National Cathedral. Several of the tracks are premiere commercial recordings. McCarthy has sculpted elegant, lyric lines, bringing the sound and meaning of each text to the forefront of the expression.
