"It has been a treat to rehearse and perform "Been Down into the Sea," which Chicago a cappella premiered in May 1996. Here, Rogers has a deft feel for the harmonies -- and especially the unique voicings -- of the African-American spiritual. While placing his own stamp on the traditional spiritual's tune, he always maintains a sense of integrity and a conception of the whole. Our singers have enjoyed singing the piece as well."
-Jonathan Miller, Artistic Director, Chicago a cappella
