The scope of Alice Parker compositions represents, in and of itself, a documented preservation of the American folk song tradition. From colonial hymns through 20th-century African-American Spirituals to original operas and cantatas, her published work has been performed by generations of professional and amateur singers alike.

However, much of this material remains unrecorded.

THE ALICE PARKER RECORDING PROJECT will make an important and lasting contribution to the field of American music. Not only does this project document the work of Alice Parker, one of our country’s leading choral artists for nearly five decades, it celebrates her work in a manner appropriately fitting--through song.

Melodious Accord, Inc. is committed to preserving this impressive collection of American music on compact disc recordings performed by the Musicians of Melodious Accord with guest soloists, and recorded with great care under the direction of the composer herself.
