 This is the first CD recording to come from the choirs of St. Paul's Parish, K Street, Washington, D.C. since the depature several years ago of Director of Music and Organist Dr. Jeffrey Smith.
K Street's new director of music and organist, Robert McCormick, formerly of St. Mary the Virgin (Manhattan, New York City), who arrived at K Street in 2008, continues the tradition of a strong vibrant choral program in the Anglican and Anglo-Catholic traditions, as evidenced in this new CD, which features the premiere recording of the Missa Brevis by McNeil Robinson, as well as arrangements and descants by Mr. McCormick and his assistant, John Bohl.
