Cylinder #5168, “Onward Christian Soldiers”, features a dignified and uplifting choral rendition performed by Calvary and St. Andrews, two ensembles known for their disciplined vocal blend and traditional sacred repertoire. This recording captures the familiar hymn with a steady, confident delivery, emphasizing unity, devotion, and the forward‑marching spirit that made the piece a staple of early 20th‑century church and community music.
As part of the Edison Blue Amberol 5000‑Series, this cylinder benefits from Edison’s improved molded celluloid process, offering enhanced durability and cleaner acoustic fidelity compared to earlier wax formats. The choral balance is smooth and resonant, making this an excellent example of late‑period sacred recordings and a desirable addition for collectors who appreciate hymnody, ensemble vocals, and historically significant religious music.
A stock photo is used for this listing. The cylinder appears in very good condition, with clean grooves and strong preservation for its age. The original Edison storage tube is included.
