University of Detroit Chorus Collection

Chorus Concert Series Recording

In order to determine how the Chorus and its smaller groups sounded, Don Large would tape many of the rehearsals and concerts.

This collection is a compilation of four master tapes from approximately 1960 - 1964. It is presented here un-edited; therefore, you will hear multiple takes of a single song.

Two members of the Chorus, Ron Beltz and Frank Gesinski, were responsible for recording some of the rehearsals/concerts contained in this recording using a full track Ampex recorder. As Ron Beltz noted, “Very expensive at the time. A full track recorder was the professional standard at the time for standard reel-to-reel tape.” Gerald Gruska remembered that a Sony 777 reel-to-reel tape recorder was also used.
