Freedom

Freedom is a collection drawn from the story of America. Its music ranges from religious hymns and spirituals to folk songs and patriotic anthems and beyond. It features songs from, or inspired by, the civil rights movements for equality in terms of gender, racial and sexual identity. In addition to tried-and-true choral works for men's voices, Freedom includes five new commissioned works from composers Mark Hayes and Greg Gilpin. Released to coincide with HMC's 25th Anniversary Season, it is the tenth recording of the Chorus.
