The Choral Arts Society's second CD for Christmas takes its name from Mendelssohn's There Shall A Star Come Out of Jacob, and represents Music Director and Conductor Norman Scribner's favorite Christmas music jewels: "Brich An, O Schones Morgenlicht," "Jesus Christ the Apple Tree," "Chanticleer," "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," "A Spotless Rose," and "Here We Come a-Wassailing." Recorded at St. Luke Catholic Church, McLean, VA in 1999, the CD is destined to become a classic.
