 High quality performance April 18, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a very high quality performance CD. The trumpet and snare drum accompaniments are excellent. (the piano accompaniments, although well done, sound a bit cheesy.) My 6-year old son is probably one of the few kids in the country that knows all the words to "Hail to the Chief" because he goes to sleep to it every night. As many times as I have had to listen to this CD (and I am a professional musician!), the quality continues to sustain.
The Spirit of Freedom: Very Good CD July 13, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I won't rehash some points other reviews above have covered. This music reminds me of some of the music used in Tom Clancy films. "America The Beautiful" arrangement sounds somewhat mournful but is stirring. I think it is appropriate considering what our country has been through in the last few years. "America" (My Country Tis of Thee) is outstanding.
Captures the Spirit June 14, 2004

I ordered this CD to take to college with me, and was not at all disappointed. It always lifted my spirits to play this and remember what it is that has made our country great. We've lost so much by not passing on our heritage to this next generation, and though my parents have done their best, I myself was unaware of these rich hymns and choruses from our history. This is a stirring collection, excellently sung and recorded. Anyone interested in enjoying the best of our past and in feeling the pride of our forefathers should definitely add this to their collection.
 A good choice of songs and hymns June 22, 2005

This CD is a collection of good patriotic songs and service hymns very well sung. The quality of the recording is good, the songs sound good and the Washington Men's Camerata gives an excellent performance. A good CD to buy.

I bought the CD based on other reviews. The hymnish sound is OK for songs like "America the Beautiful" but I was hoping for more robust renditions of songs like "The Marine's Hymn", "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "The Caissons Go Rolling Along".
