The Loyola Chorale
From 1973 through 1987, the Loyola Chorale was under the direction of Dr. Larry Wyatt, whose musicianship and dedication to his students made "Chorale" one of the most rewarding experiences for vocalists at Loyola. The group toured annually, both domestic and abroad, which not only promoted the university and the College of Music to the rest of the world, but also created many lasting and cherished memories for all of its members.
Though more performances may have been recorded over the years, the audio and video tracks that have surfaced to date can be viewed below or heard on the following website:

The Loyola Chorale on TV
In December 1980, the Chorale taped a Christmas special "Tidings of Great Joy" in WWL studios under the direction of Mr. Jack Hutton, the interim director while Dr. Wyatt was on sabbatical. There's only one known copy of the program from which the following clips were taken. The audio/video quality is poor throughout, but the beauty of the music and the quality of the performance still manage to shine through.
Clip 1 - "Away in a Manger" featuring Rebeca Ulloa, soprano
Clip 2 - "The Holly and the Ivy"
Clip 3 - "Christmas Medley" featuring Julia Brasher, alto; Richard Hutton, bass; Suzanne Raz, soprano; and Greg Rando, tenor
