The critically-acclaimed Saint Louis Chamber Chorus is one of the world's largest annual commissioners of new choral music. The impressive list of names illustrates the strong associations the Chamber Chorus has made with both well-established and younger emerging contemporary composers from around the globe. This latest release, Saint Louis Reflections - the Chorus's eighth recording on the Regent label - showcases a selection of eleven commissions from the last fifteen years. All of the works are receiving their premiere recording. The works featured cover a wide range of diverse musical and textual styles from the earliest works on the recording by David Matthews and Carl Rutti to the recent commissions from Dobrinka Tabakova, Sasha Johnson Manning, Kerensa Briggs, and Melissa Dunphy. Another recent work is Judith Bingham's 'I lift up mine eyes unto the hills' - commissioned in memory of Sarah Bryan Miller, the long-time and much-loved classical music critic of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch who died in 2020.
