Louisville Chorus · Kentucky’s longest continuously performing chorus, Louisville, Kentucky.
The Louisville Chorus has released four albums, recorded from 1996 to 2017: Louisville Chorus Live (2017), As I Went to Bethlehem (2012), The Art of Christmas (2003) and Christmas from the Heart (1996).

Louisville Chorus Live (2017) runs 1 hr 18 min across 15 tracks, conducted by Daniel Spurlock. Recorded in concert: a complete Requiem for the Living in five movements, “Awake the Trumpet’s Lofty Sound” from Handel’s Samson, and “Blessed Is the Man” from Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil. The closest thing to hearing the chorus in the room. It streams on Spotify. As I Went to Bethlehem (2012) runs 43 min across 14 tracks. A Christmas record built largely from live performances, moving between the Sussex Carol, “Fum, Fum, Fum”, “I Wonder as I Wander”, Yon’s “Gesù Bambino” and the title carol. It streams on Spotify. The Art of Christmas (2003) runs 1 hr 41 min across 26 tracks, released on TNT Records. A double album, and the most ambitious thing in the catalogue. One half is Britten, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Berlioz and Mendelssohn, closing on the Hallelujah Chorus; the other is “Sleigh Ride”, “White Christmas”, “Silver Bells” and a “Deck the Halls” in 7/8. Recorded at First Presbyterian Church in Jeffersonville and at TNT Studios in Louisville. It streams on Spotify and Apple Music. Christmas from the Heart (1996) runs 50 min across 16 tracks, conducted by Daniel Spurlock. The oldest record in the catalogue, made during Daniel Spurlock’s first tenure and originally sold on cassette. It opens out into a nearly seven-minute “Silent Night” with an alto solo from Beth Blair. It streams on Apple Music.
The Christmas records are As I Went to Bethlehem (2012), The Art of Christmas (2003) and Christmas from the Heart (1996): 56 tracks of recorded Christmas music going back to 1996, which is the same repertoire the Louisville Chorus sings live in Louisville, Kentucky every December.
