Delos is thrilled to announce a new collaboration with GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer. Famed for its “accuracy of intonation, purity of blend, of color and swagger of style” (Boston Globe), the group makes its label debut with Joy to the World. This new Christmas collection blends tradition with innovation, combining Renaissance motets and fresh arrangements of classic carols with contemporary compositions, including two new commissions from Joanna Marsh. Showcasing the ensemble’s extraordinary ability to move seamlessly and expertly between styles, Chanticleer’s first Delos release conjures a wintertime world of magic, light, and wonder.
