CD Baby) The Capital City Men's Chorus' first commercial
release, commemorates the ensemble's tenth concert season. Silent Noon is an exploration
of various kinds of love as seen by composers throughout time.
Reviewer CD Baby says:
"Precise and exacting a capella vocal
work from a men's chorus based in Austin, Texas. A warm exploration of
various kinds of love as seen by composers throughout time. The combination
of unique arrangements and amazing vocalists makes this CD one to give you
goose bumps!" Reviewer P A says:

rhythm. Vowel colors are all matched, and it is an excellent choice of
repertoire." Reviewer Kenny Colum says:
