Floating Upstream

Sealed CD.

Floating Upstream is the first studio recording of Canadian choral composer Stephen Hatfield's music in several years. It showcases much of the composer's newest work. It is also the first such CD ever made by a public school choral music program in collaboration with the composer. The performing choirs range from grades six through twelve. The package includes a 32-page booklet of texts, translations, and in-depth liner notes by the composer. The Choirs are from Hopewell Valley Central High School and Timberlane Middle School (Pennington, New Jersey, USA), under the direction of Kenneth Elpus at the high school and Rebecca Elpus at the middle school. This CD features over 575 singers in the secondary choral program they created.
