Recordings of the Cecilia Chorus

Our new Naxos recording of Daron Hagen’s Everyone, Everywhere has won international praise:

“The work is beautifully written and well-scored, always in modern language but anchored in the powerful system of tonality….The performance does justice to the work, and [conductor] Mark Shapiro takes the task very seriously, …[A] choir in fine form, and two committed soloists with a high artistic level..” © 2025 RITMO [Spain]

“[A] gripping, ardent, and dramatic work…[The] vocal and choral writing is intelligent and engaging; I’m reminded in moments of Britten’s War Requiem. Not for a second does Hagen take for granted the urgency and relevance of the document.” ©2025 American Record Guide [United States]

“Hagen has crafted a spiritual drama that combines hopeful confidence with humble supplication….The choir, soloists and orchestra are dedicated to this musical tribute to the ideals of the Declaration.” © 2025 Pizzicato [Luxembourg]
