Background
The concept of the Sound of Home CD came from director Marc Secara in asking the questions "Where I come from, where I belong and where I feel at home". The repertoire chosen for the album was closely coordinated with 7 arrangers Secara trusted to write cover versions of hit tunes dating back to Antônio Carlos Jobims 1959 composition Chega de Saudade and the tradition Germany folksong Schlaflied. The program for the CD comes all the way forward to songs made popular by more recently artists such as Michael Bublé, Johannes Oerding, and Melody Gardot. Original material from within the ensemble is also included on the release.Young Voices Brandenburg, web site and information
