The release of "Sing in Exultation!" from is the result of a long-held wish by the choir, and its supporters, to record a selection of the seasonal music it performs so skilfully and with such joy.
From old favourites and timeless classics, including a new David Hamilton arrangement of "Te Harinui" by Willow Macky, to music seldom heard at Christmas time in New Zealand, there will be something to enchant all.
Recorded in the spacious acoustic of the Auckland Grammar School Hall, the disc will be the perfect accompaniment to Christmas dinners for years to come!
