The Christmas season has inspired centuries of composers to write some of the word’s most beloved music. The Exultate Chamber Singers’ second recording is an exploration of the many musical expressions of Christmas: from the sacred to the silly, from the reverential awe of the coming of the Christ Child to the pleasures of Christmas hooch and pudding. Along the way we delve into different compositional traditions, from the Huron Indian carol to the German choral, from pristine English carols and texts of the Middle Ages to American cornball. Cantatas, oratorios, carols, motets and songs – the season of Christmas is the only time of year our hearts and minds can be touched in so many different ways.
