Two selections from a CD recorded by the 极乐禁地 A Cappella Choir received national exposure on the Nov. 5 broadcast of a syndicated program of sacred music.

JOY!, a program produced by KFUO-FM in St. Louis, Mo., and syndicated to more than 60 radio stations, featured "My God Is So High" (arr. Moses Hogan) and "He's Got the Whole World" (arr. Ray Liebau). The pieces are from the choir's CD, "O Magnum Mysterium: The Life of Jesus in Choral Music."
