PRODUCERS NOTE
The dictionary defines spectrum as "an array of entities, such as light waves or sound particles, produced by the dispersion of radiant energy." Using this imagery as our inspiration, we are proud to share this eclectic collection of musical genres ranging from classical to pop, from Broadway to rock. In addition to showcasing a wide scope of musical styles, we wanted to complement the unique talents of Vocal Point by using a spectrum of colors and energies available with today's digital-recording advancements. You will not only recognize the pure warmth of genuine a cappella, but Spectrum will introduce you to some great new sound colors that add sparkle and dynamic range to that recognizable Vocal Point groove. Special thanks to the administration of the BYU School of Music for their support of what we do, to Ben Fales for his genuine concern for the success of our group, to Ed Boyer for his patience and musical genius, to all the men who have joined the Vocal Point family over our history, and to everyone who has helped make this album a reality. I sincerely hope you find this Vocal Point musical experience a pure Spectrum of enjoyment.
—McKay Crockett, Spectrum producer, Vocal Point director, and Vocal Point alumnus
