A Chanticleer Christmas
“A Chanticleer Christmas” – from its opening candlelit chant procession through early music, contemporary compositions, and favorite carols to its triumphant gospel conclusion – hearkens back to some of the group’s most cherished traditions and the original vision of its founder, Louis Botto; the program has also been featured on a PBS special and multiple appearances on NBC’s Today show. The new album builds on these traditions: Renaissance motets by Praetorius, Palestrina, and Morales rub shoulders with seven new arrangements of favorite carols by vocal jazz expert Amanda Taylor; Chanticleer’s longest tenured singer, countertenor Adam Brett Ward; Chanticleer’s own vocal jazz star, bass-baritone Jared Graveley; and Music Director Tim Keeler. Contemporary compositions include Sarah Quartel’s This Endris Night, Steven Sametz’s A Christmas Fanfare (Angelus ad Virginem), and two new commissions from Joanna Marsh: Hands and the Hour and Arrival at the Lantern Festival.
