Notes
First released 1965 by Everest as LPBR 6129 (mono) and SDBR 3129 (stereo).Back cover data includes:
- The Gregg Smith Singers are managed by Kenneth Allen / 125 East 63rd Street - New York 21, N.Y.
- An Everest Records Production / 1313 North Vine Street / Hollywood, California 90028
Data from dead-wax matrices identifies Allentown Record Co. Inc. as the production facility, and May 1972 as the date the plate for this reissue was cut.
This US release has blue and orange LP labels unlike the brown labels of
The Gregg Smith Singers* - Aaron Copland / William Schuman / Samuel Barber - An American Triptych
Several errors:
Proper title of the Barber, Op. 216 is "Reincarnations" - with the "s."
The title of the third choral madrigal is " The Coolin' " [no "g"], a Irish-Gaelic term for a sweetheart, literally "the fair-haired one."
