"I cannot praise the work of the Mendelssohn Glee Club enough, but I'll try: One half Talent, one half Joy, one half Dedication, one half Camaraderie, and the rest -- Love!"

the Broadway hit Annie
From the liner notes: The Mendelssohn Glee Club is the oldest independent musical organization in the United States, after the New York Philharmonic. The Club was formed in 1866, at the beginning of America's "Gilded Age," by a group of 14 New York men who wanted to entertain their high-society friends in the new "continental style" four-part harmony (bass, baritone, second and first tenor) that was all the rage in Europe...  Click  here to see full liner notes.
