Phase I Vocalists

Phase I included 3 vocalists:

1. Mr. Goettee provides the vocal lead on all hymns and songs except "Were You There," where he sings what might be considered response, or perhaps challenge, commentary;


2. Ms. Gerber-Salins, who is David's duet partner on many of the hymns, is the lead on "Were You There." (She is also included in some hymns which became multipart harmony in Phase II.);


3. Ms. Dorothy Gould Gerber (with her daughter) provides a striking descant vocal part on the refrains of the last verse of "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today." Together with Ms. Gerber-Salins, they sang the magnificent very high descant harmony as a duo.
   
   

NOTE. The strikingness of that descant, recorded in Phase I, led to dramatically expanding use of descants with several other hymns in Phase II.

Because neither Ms. Gerber-Salins or her mother were available in Phase II, the additional descants were added with other vocalists (Jamine Flanagan and Kelsey Snyder).
