The 2nd Rainbow Chorus Recording, this one features the commissioned work, BEGINNINGS, 

by award-winning Fort Collins composer, Steven B. Eulberg.   

The six songs and one instrumental piece that comprise the suite are each markedly different, 

reflecting the diversity of the chorus itself.   



Eclectic instrumentation:
Hammered Dulcimer, Mountain Dulcimer, Penny Whistle, Australian Didjeridu & Lagerphone, 

Clarinet, assorted percussion, guitar & mandolin.


When we performed this at the GALA International Choralfest in San Jose (July 2000) we were
interrupted 3x with standing ovations!

The Rainbow Chorus is a mixed male/female, gay/straight unauditioned community chorus whose voices unite in harmony.   

The Chorus was founded in 1992 to provide a peaceful statement of unification of gays, lesbians, straights, bisexuals and 

transgendered people to the community. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, the Chorus actively endeavors to educate as well 

as entertain its audience. Through the messages in their music the Chorus strives to destroy barriers, build bridges, and change the lives 

of those who hear them.
