- The American composer, Norman Dello Joio (1913-2008) wrote his cantata To Saint Cecilia during June and July of 1958. The work employs a text adapted from John Dryden's A Song For St. Cecilia's Day of 1687. It is scored for mixed chorus (with bass solo), 3 trumpets, 3 horns and tuba.
This performance features the Columbia University Chapel Choir, Brass and Percussion Ensemble conducted by Searle Wright. It was recorded in St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University. - Hudba
Ive been looking for this!!!
What a wonderful musical discovery...thanks for sharing 👍
Wish they listed the brass players.
Best performance of this I've heard. Definitely a piece that should be done more often.
Our high school choir (Grossmont High School, El Cajon, CA; Don Hubler, director) performed this during my senior year (1970-71). It was the single toughest number we attempted during my 2 1/2 years in choir, and I love it dearly.
I performed this at USDAN in 1981. It has been a very long time since I've heard this. Brings back a lot of memories and love the music. I believe I have the recording on cassette somewhere. Funny, there are parts we did not do, but the majority of the piece is there on this recording.
So glad I found this. I performed this with the University of Florida Concert Chorus in the 1980's. It's been running around in my head for the last few weeks, so I finally had to find it and hear it. This is the best performance I've come across.
So did I! UFChorus from 1982 - 1986. Loved this piece and always remember Dr Gribsby and amazing accompanist named Randy who played the very difficult piano part!! I sang it again at Peabody Conservatory and again years later with USC in Los Angeles. Love it and never tire of it and a recording is hard to find!!
I'm delighted to have found this! I performed it in community college a million years ago (late 70's maybe?) and loved it. Hard to find a recording.

Performed this at Western Michigan University in 1986 or 1987. A great work that is becoming lost like so many classic choral works.
Being replaced by mediocre, culturally diverse choral music, especially in our college and professional music programs.
