Winter a cappella

December 1998

Revel in the best of the old and the new.  Traditional carols meet with vibrant new scores from around the world.  Join us for vocal-jazz holiday carols by Gene Puerling and Robert Convery; the famous chorale-motet Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming by Hugo Distler; a haunting setting of the Annunciation story by Denmark's Per Norgard; the Winter raga from India; the Christmas Spirituals Medley by Chanticleer's Joseph Jennings; three Yuletide Carols by Jerry Troxell; and doo-wop Hannukah settings by Steve Barnett.  You'll hear all of this, and more, sung with Chicago a cappella's impeccable tuning and a light-hearted spirit.
