Appalachian State University: An Appalachian Summer Festival: Chanticleer: Sing Joyfully

The multiple Grammy Award-winning all-male vocal ensemble, named after the clear-singing rooster in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, performs a jubilant program that includes Renaissance motets by William Byrd and Heinrich Isaac, classic arrangements of familiar folk songs like “Shenandoah” and “Calling my children home,” settings of jazz standards such as “Blue Skies” and “Lost in the Stars,” and contemporary arrangements of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and Queen’s “Somebody to Love.”
