"Idumea" is great - but so are "Alabama" OSH No. 196 and "Wondrous Love" No 159 and "Soar Away" No. 455

"Alabama" is my favorite because of the fuging sequence - a survival from the Renaissance polyphony of the 17th century, via the "West Gallery Hymns" and the New England Singing School. "Soar Away" is a more recent composition by Marcus Cagle for the 1936 edition - but it shows a good mastery of the fuging sequence.

The Word of Mouth Chorus is my favorite OSH singing group. They are spot on in pitch and rhythm, without sacrificing the characteristic style of OSH - which actually is more the style that Renaissance polyphony originally used.
