The latest recording in the African American Church Music Series, The Lord Is My Light, is simply bursting with a wonderful array of music: anthems with organ and trumpets, a hymn arrangement, gospel selections in contemporary and traditional styles, and lesser known a cappella spirituals by composers/arrangers Clayton White, Uzee Brown, Jr., and the pioneer of the concert Negro spiritual, Harry T. Burleigh

Recorded in Cannon Chapel at Emory University in Atlanta, this CD features a collection of talented voices from various Georgia universities and the broader Atlanta community.
