Cedille on sale

On its new CD, the “world class”* nine-voice ensemble Chicago a cappella brings its trademark “wit, imagination, [and] flawless intonation”** to 23 contemporary choral settings of Shakespeare texts — including ten recorded premieres and three works composed expressly for the group.
Making its Cedille Records debut, Chicago a cappella performs artful arrangements that draw from influences ranging from bossa nova and the blues to Renaissance and medieval modes. You’ll hear a fascinating spectrum of styles within single works and across the entire program. This is one CD where (in the words of the Bard) “music and sweet poetry agree.”
