We Sing of God
The choirs of Saint Paul's Parish, K Street, Washington, DC join forces in this first recording under the baton of Robert McCormick (appointed in 2008). McCormick and Assistant Director of Music John Bradford Bohl lead the Parish Choir and Boy and Girl Choristers in a fine program of American and British choral music by composers of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, interspersed with organ works of Charles-Marie Widor. The choirs are accompanied on the 1996 Schoenstein organ.
