Steppin' Out

This debut CD features a cappella and accompanied selections recorded during 1998-99 performances at Boston University's Marsh Chapel. Emphasizing our broad repertoire, "Steppin' Out" features a variety of compositions ranging from classical to vocal jazz. It opens with three powerful selections from W. A. Mozart's Requiem: Dies Irae, Confutatis, and Lacrimosa. The Boys II Men arrangement of Yesterday (Lennon/McCartney) features a familiar melody laced with intricate harmonies. The title track is the classic Irving Berlin standard which is a crowd pleaser at many of our live performances. The album closes brightly with Congori Shango, a Costa Rican rhythmic anthem.
