Notes & Reviews:

The Spivey Hall Children's Choir led by Martha Shaw gives a program that is a celebration of music throughout the performing year and is a reflection of the music that has molded the choir's musicianship.

American Record Guide, November/December 2012
I also could imagine a more spirited response to C Armstrong Gibbs's 'Praise God in His Holiness'. Aside from that, the singing is pretty spiffy and I look forward to hearing this choi again.
