Who is the performing group in this recording? They give a wonderful rendering of John's creation.

@ZazuPotu I believe this might be the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I'm not 100% sure though.

SANTA CLARA VANGUARD!!!

Gonna be a great year for Vanguard. If you didn't know, Mackey tends to post the scores of his works online for free - viewable only, but still pretty cool.

3:50-3:52 Is kinda a boner killer, it just doesn't sustain, it just drops. Other than that though, I love this recording.

For those curious, this is University of North Carolina Greensboro.  The recording is also on iTunes.
