About this Event
Through Chanticleer’s signature blend of voices and with repertoire spanning centuries, we reveal a paradise longed for, imagined, and fleetingly glimpsed through song. Included are songs of praise by Renaissance composers Jean Mouton and Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, as well as sacred manifestations of paradise, with Darius Milhaud’s “Psalm 121” and Bobby McFerrin’s “The 23rd Psalm.” Perfect love, both earthly and divine, finds expression in Giovanni Valentini’s “Adoramus Te, Christe” and Jean Sibelius’s epic Finnish love song, “Rakastava.” A collection of contemporary songs rounds out the program, including arrangements of Richard Evans’s “Journey to Recife” and Manuel Sánchez Acosta’s “Paraiso Soñado,” which remind us that sometimes the only thing standing between us and paradise is a plane, a train, or a dream.
