Why This Record Matters
The University of Vermont Choral Union performs early Vermont choral music by Elisha West, Ebenezer Child, and Eliakim Doolittle, composers whose works reflect the region’s singing-school tradition. Short selections such as “Song Of Praise,” “Idumean,” and “Vermont” offer a window into the hymns, anthems, and other vocal music created in early New England.
Collector Note
This 1985 US LP on Philo (catalog 1073) is the third volume in the Vermont Harmony series, devoted to works by West, Child, and Doolittle. Recorded at the University of Vermont Recital Hall under music director Dr. James Chapman, it documents a distinctly Vermont choral repertory.
