Following the tremendous worldwide success of Ticheli’s “There Will Be Rest” (included here), this album responds to growing international clamor for recordings of his other choral compositions. The Shore is a luminous and evocative four-movement work for large chorus and orchestra; performed to perfection by the Pacific Chorale and their affiliated Pacific Symphony. Besides “There Will Be Rest,” three other original works of smaller scale and a short arrangement are superbly performed a cappella by either Pacific Chorale or their affiliated chamber choir, the John Alexander Singers. Distinguished conductor John Alexander leads all performances.
