Recorded Examples

The following are live, unedited compact disc recordings of William Dehning conducting the USC Chamber Choir in the years from 1998-2007. The ensemble consisted of twenty-four singers during his fifteen-year tenure with them. Most performances were recorded on the USC campus, but several items here were recorded on tours of Spain (S) and Taiwan (T), and in competition in France (F). From 1992-1997 all recordings are on cassette, therefore unavailable here.

The selections are in alphabetical order by composer; you can search the site to see if what you may want is available, otherwise you'll have to scroll. If a work is choral/orchestral(*), the orchestra is always present and the chorus is the USC Choral Artists (ca. 80 singers), again with William Dehning conducting. Idioms other than the mainstream of the 'classical' choral music canon (spirituals, pop, jazz, folk music) are listed after the canon in alphabetical order by arranger.

External computer speakers are highly recommended for quality and depth of sound.
