    From the great tradition of hymns, spirituals and folksongs to the transcendent chords of the hottest 20th– and 21st–century composers, Schola Cantorum delves into America’s choral musical heritage—a collection of works as diverse as the nation’s multi-ethnic population itself. James Erb’s arrangement of the popular American folksong, Shenandoah, Eric Whitacre’s I thank You God for Most this Amazing Day, Aaron Copland’s Simple Gifts, Morten Lauridsen’s Nocturnes and Gene Scheer’s heroic American Anthem—passionately sung by Nora Jones in Ken Burns’s The War—frame this portrait of American choral literature.
