  Dale Warland has gone from 'college choral man' to international leader in the
Warland and those around him attribute it all to his ear and attention to detail -- he knows what he wants to hear from his 36 singers and, to the tweaking of single breaths in a lyrical line, how to achieve it.
Warland is half-standing, half-sitting on a stool at the body of a grand piano, using the top as a podium while leading his singers through another rehearsal in a choral room at Augsburg College.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Harvest Home, The Dale Warland Singers, CD
This is among a group of valedictory discs from Minnesota's Dale Warland Singers, now disbanded after a distinguished 40-year career.

Fans of the Dale Warland Singers probably already have this disc, but those interested in Americana in general should also acquire it.
