CD | Our Heart's Joy

A Chanticleer Christmas
Newly remastered in 2004, incorporating selected tracks from Psallite! Featuring Franz Biebl's beloved "Ave Maria"

Our Heart's Joy is an uplifting celebration of the music of Christmas, including works ranging from Renaissance motets to African-American spirituals and traditional carols. These favorite selections from two "vintage" Chanticleer CDs (including Franz Biebl's "Ave Maria," one of Chanticleer's most-requested performances) are being reissued by popular demand in a newly remastered version to take advantage of current audio technology.

"An unforgettable Christmas disc... deserves a place in the collection of all devotees of Renaissance choral music."
