Without a Song

Music can lead us to places we never expected. It can inspire us forward, or it can hold us back. Music’s power has been the subject of wonder and speculation for millenia. Its ability to influence people has been both lauded and derided. Music has been called both divine and diabolical. In Without a Song, Chanticleer explores music’s power throughout the ages. Repertoire includes Medieval and Renaissance motets by Francesco Landini and Orlando di Lasso, a new work by the GRAMMY-nominated composer Ayanna Woods, and a new version of the jazz standard “Without a Song,” arranged for us by Stacey Gibbs.
