Juanas/ Novi/ Variant Six - Premiere Recordings of Selected Choral Works

Antonio Juanas wrote some of the great choral music of the late 1700s, but far too little of this work is known. This release presents premiere recordings of these great works, performed by the Collegium Mundi Novi, conducted by R. Ryan Endris. R. Ryan Endris has received critical acclaim for his "ability to imbue his vocal and instrumental forces with his view of the music" and for his ensembles' "clarity, exquisite phrasing, and vibrancy" (Bloomington Herald-Times). Dr. Endris currently serves as Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Choral & Vocal Activities at Colgate University where he conducts the University Chorus and Chamber Singers. Highly sought after as a conductor and clinician, he has recently appeared as a guest conductor for the Syracuse Vocal Ensemble and Monroe County School Music Association's Women's Honor Choir and as a guest clinician at Creighton University (Omaha, Nebraska), University of the Andes (Bogotá, Colombia), and University of Cartagena (Cartagena, Colombia).
