Volume III again features the talents of TCU’s faculty and student musicians. However, this choral-focused disc is especially dedicated to the memory of longtime TCU choral director Ronald L.

A number of the works on this disc represent Prof. Shirey’s final Christmas efforts with TCU students.

 

The CD features not only Prof. Shirey, but also the work of TCU music students and faculty members Sheri Neill, Janet Pummill, Germán Gutiérrez, Curt Wilson, Allison Ward and Bobby Francis.  Joining TCU music students in the Choirs, Symphony Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble and Wind Symphony are members of the Fort Worth/TCU Symphonic Choir.
