Our American Journey

Chanticleer's 25th CD celebrates the music of America, from sacred motets by 17th century Mexican composers to shape-note hymns to newly-commissioned works on American themes. Our American Journey is a showcase of the rich traditions and also of the creative tension between unity and diversity that are inherent American music and in American life.

"Chanticleer's pastel timbre, dead-on intonation, and precise articulation are persuasive throughout..." --The New Yorker

"Chanticleer's versatility never ceases to amaze me" --Paul Horsley, Knight-Ridder
