American Masses: An Evening of American Choral Music

Recording by Arts Laureate American Masses, An Evening of American Choral Music was conceived and presented by composer Peter Dayton and tenor/conductor Joshua Glassman. Through a kickstarter campaign, Dayton and Glassman were able to raised over $4,500 to pay their local Baltimore ensemble: the Mt. Vernon Consort. The program features a diversity of American spiritual music, ranging from Sacred Harp arrangements and African American Spirituals to Barber's Agnus Dei and the world premiere of a new work by composer Peter Dayton: "Light and Mystery, Suite from An American Mass."
