Charles C. Hirt CD Available for Purchase

Charles C. Hirt 2 CD set available for purchase

Charismatic, dynamic, visionary.  These are the words that describe Charles C. Hirt, past ACDA National President and choral director of the University of Southern California Chamber Singers.  In 1998, a two disc CD featuring performances of the USC Chamber Singers was created to fund the Charles C. Hirt Trust Fund.  The fund was created to benefit choral projects.  The two disc set, the content of which was chosen by Charles and Lucy Hirt, includes literature from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries.  The performances are recordings of spring concerts of the USC Chamber Singers on the USC campus. 

Jane Hardester, in a 1998 Cantate article, described the selections on the CD as a "stunning, imaginative recreation of these chamber works by one of the America's finest choral musicians."  Upon listening to the CDs, those who know the work of Charles C. Hirt will no doubt relive memories of Dr. Hirt's fine performances and literature choices.  Newer generations will have the opporunity to hear recordings from one of the giants of choral history.  The 2 CD set is now available for purchase on ACDA's website.
