I treated the album as if I was composing the movie in my head I wanted to score.

It is not often that one encounters a choir – professional or otherwise – whose unity, technical perfection, and musical expressiveness would be a match for the Chamber Singers at the University of South Dakota. The much-recorded, much-acclaimed ensemble presents yet another triumph in the form of I Carry Your Heart, a breathtaking, exhilarating cruise through a cappella choral music from around the world. The Chamber Singers is the premier vocal ensemble at USD. Performers in the choir are selected through audition from the entire university student body.
