Chanticleer: Wondrous Love, A World Folk Song Collection, 1998.
This
collection of folk songs is very lovely, and delivered with the
Chanticleer style which is unique, with high tenor voices, and a few
lower voices. It does make quite a statement, however some of the songs
I prefer to others. Loch Lomond is my favorite. This starts with a
soloist and the rest underneath and it is just beautiful. It concludes
with a medley of American folk songs which is also very fun. I must
admit, all the high notes, though interesting and beautiful for a time,
have a tendency to put me to sleep when there are to many. I prefer the
bass tones underneath. I think the basses are what provide the driving
foundation to this music.
