    The Boys of St. Paul Choir School are releasing their debut international recording, "Christmas in Harvard Square". The Christmas album repertoire includes 19 classic songs, which have both traditional and contemporary arrangements, including some original arrangements by Mr. John Robinson the Director of Music. It also includes some must-have renditions of Rutter & Sir David Willcocks arrangements. The school itself is uniquely one of the only boys' choir schools in the US and is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The academy has been described not as a school with a choir, but as a choir with a school. This cozy and ethereal collection celebrating The Nativity of Christ will be a timeless classic for many seasons to come.

    As the booklet to this Decca release notes, St. Paul's Choir School of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the only Catholic boys' choir school in the U.S. One can see why, with handsome profits being reaped from the various similar institutions across the Atlantic, the Decca label might have been interested in trying to generate a similar recording institution in the U.S. In this first attempt the results are mixed, but promising. The sound of the choir is unusual, with large groups of boy trebles over three-to-a-part altos, tenors, and basses. The spotlight is on the trebles, and they do not falter in pitch; they stay cohesive in the rather murky spaces of their home church, and they bring a good deal of warmth to the generally familiar melodies on display. This is good, for the program itself sticks closely to the middle of the road with a mixture of Renaissance pieces, carols, chant, and contemporary pieces, many of them standard fare for anyone who has sung in an American glee club. Listeners should note the stated aim: "this music allows us to collaborate in the great endeavor that is the New Evangelization." Those of a more ecumenical frame of mind will find English recordings for Christmas season that approach the story and its choral traditions with greater sense of resonance and history, and, for now, greater skill. But for those already evangelized, this album will bring both conviction and some notably good boychoir singing.
