It's a Grand Night for Singing

It's a grand night for singing,
The moon is flying high,
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky!
--Oscar Hammerstein II

Just like the bird in Oscar Hammerstein's lyrics, the Great Northern Union delights in raising our voices in song. Give us an audience and a stage. Magic happens.

The GNU is proud of our adeptness at delivering songs in a wide variety of musical styles, from gospel to jazz, from Broadway to barbershop - all in our unique, rich, award winning a cappella sound.

This collection brings variety together just as in a GNU concert, with songs as varied as old sea shanties and sailors' hymns, big band era standards, Broadway and Hollywood classics, gospel, and even some 70's hits by the Beatles and John Denver.

So imagine yourself in the front row of the audience as the lights dim and the curtain rises. This is truly a grand night for singing.

It's a great beginning to a fabulous evening.
What a night to be singing a song,
Ringing out strong to this marvelous throng,
Hearing our song!
