We lcom e
D ear friends and family,
Here we are, as in olden day! Back with carols and candles, back with Biebl and baubles, and back
in front of an audience after much too long. “A Chanticleer Christmas” seems almost as immutable
as the seasons. It’s a holiday tradition for so many of us, and we are so thankful that we get to
celebrate that tradition again this year.
But we would be fools to pretend like we aren’t different people now than we were two years ago.
Behind all the Santa hats and smiles, we have each got a story to tell. I don’t necessarily mean a
story about Covid, although it could be that. I mean simply that a lot happens in two years. Some
good things, some bad things.
In Chanticleer, I believe our best singing happens when we are honest and open with each other.
When we feel comfortable being vulnerable. When our individual stories, with all their ups and
downs, combine into a small, ephemeral bit of sonic beauty.
Tonight, let us create a place of warmth and closeness. Let us create a room of connection and
respect, of understanding and compassion, where all of our stories from the past two years can
mingle and mix. Gather those dear to you (with an arm or with a memory) and hold them tight. And
the stranger sitting next to you? Extend to them the same grace.
It’s nice, isn’t it? Knowing that everyone in here feels compassion for your story – whether they
have heard it or not, whether they understand it or not. Oh, that we could always see such spirit
through the year!
Merry Christmas!
Tim

A Spotless Rose – Herbert Howells
A spotless rose is growing,

Of ancient seers’ foreshowing,

And in the dark midnight.
The Rose which I am singing,
Whereof Isaiah said,
Is from its sweet root springing
In Mary, purest Maid:
For through our God’s great love and might,
The Blessed Babe she bare us
In a cold, cold winter’s night.

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh.
Come peasant, king to own him.

Walking in the Air – Howard Blake, arr. Adam Ward
We’re walking in the air,
we’re floating in the moonlit sky;
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.
I’m holding very tight,
I’m riding in the midnight blue,
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you.
On across the world
the villages go by like dreams,
the rivers and the hills,
the forest and the streams...
Children gaze open-mouthed,
taken by surprise;
nobody down below believes their eyes!
We’re surfing in the air,
we’re swimming in the frozen sky,
we’re drifting over icy mountains floating by.
Suddenly swooping low
on an ocean deep,
rousing up a mighty monster from its sleep...
We’re walking in the air,
we’re dancing in the midnight sky,
and everyone who sees us greets us as we fly.

Christmas Spiritual Medley – Traditional Spirituals, arr. Joseph H. Jennings
There’s a star in the East on Christmas morn.
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
It’ll lead to the place where Christ was born.
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
Leave your sheep and leave your lambs.
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
Leave your ewes and leave your rams.
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
There was no room found in the inn.
It is the star of Bethlehem.
For Him who was born free from sin.
It is the star of Bethlehem.
Everywhere I go, everywhere I go, my Lord
Everywhere I go, somebody talkin’ ‘bout Jesus.
They turned away Mary and Joseph from the inn.
Born in a stable in Bethlehem.
Born, born of the Virgin Mary,
Born, born on a Christmas morning,
Hark the herald angels sing.
Glory to the newborn King.
Go tell it on the mountain.
Over the hills and ev’rywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
15About Chanticleer
The GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer has been hailed as “the world’s reigning male chorus” by
The New Yorker, and is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its wide-ranging repertoire and dazzling
virtuosity. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto, Chanticleer quickly took its place as
one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world, selling over one million recordings and performing
thousands of live concerts to audiences around the world.
Chanticleer’s repertoire is rooted in the renaissance and has continued to expand to include a wide range of classical,
gospel, jazz, popular music, and a deep commitment to the commissioning of new compositions and arrangements. The
ensemble has committed much of its vast recording catalogue to these commissions, garnering GRAMMY® Awards for
its recording of Sir John Tavener’s “Lamentations & Praises”, and the ambitious collection of commissioned works entitled
“Colors of Love”. Chanticleer is the recipient of the Dale Warland/Chorus America Commissioning Award and the
ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming, and its Music Director Emeritus Joseph H. Jennings
received the Brazeal Wayne Dennard Award for his contribution to the African-American choral tradition during his
tenure with Chanticleer.
Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer continues to maintain ambitious
programming in its hometown of San Francisco, including a large education and outreach program that recently reached
over 8,000 people, and an annual concert series that includes its legendary holiday tradition “A Chanticleer Christmas”.
Chanticleer is a non-profit organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, administered by a professional
staff with a full-time professional ensemble. In addition to the many individual contributors to Chanticleer, the Board of
Trustees thanks the following Foundations, Corporations and Government Agencies for their exceptional support:
The National Endowment for the Arts
Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
The Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation
