Background notes
Archive material and source history
The St. Francis Choir formed at St. Francis College in Brooklyn in 1954, led by choral director Robert De Cormier. They became known for their 1965 recording of the hymn "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee," which brought them wider attention.
In the 1970s, the choir faced some criticism for performing contemporary works by composers like Leonard Bernstein and Igor Stravinsky alongside their traditional repertoire. They continued recording through the decades, including albums like "The Music of Robert De Cormier" in 1969 and "The Sacred Music of Maurice Duruflé" in 1993.
