John Featherstone
Credo
Powerline
Grade – A

Credo is a remarkable achievement on behalf of John Featherstone.  The project is multi-faceted as it can be performed with orchestration, dance, or as a choir in large or small venues.  The theatrical portion of the show is adapted according to the stage.  Originally the piece was written for a gospel choir and 16-piece chamber group.  The CD alone is a decent audio interpretation of the production and it is available in both French and English versions.  

As a classical/choir production, “Credo” is an inspiring work of art.  Although I do not listen to classical/choir music on a daily basis, as an overall music enthusiast I can find value in exposure to all varieties of music.  In addition to the value of classical music “Credo” also ties in the gospel in a way that I have not seen before. 

John Featherstone has a MySpace page and a home page for more information on the “Credo” CD and production.
