"[T]he charm of a Chicago Chorale performance is always the group singing. The final movement of the Howells [Requiem] is entitled, 'I Heard a Voice from Heaven,' but I wouldn't be surprised if some people, on their way home, didn't think that they had heard many voices from heaven that night." --M.L. Rantala, November 7, 2007
