Inuit Hunting Song

Estampie Natalis

With an original text inspired by John Donne, this piece illustrates the power of peace and all the blessings it brings. Written in an African style for the meeting of the Nairobi Chamber Chorus and Festival Singers of Florida—but with a completely original melody—it was premiered in Nairobi with the composer singing in the choir. Recorded live on Saturday, 22 February 2020.

Orlando di Lasso (c. 1532-1594) was considered the greatest Flemish composer of the Renaissance. As a young boy, his singing voice was so beautiful he was taken to Italy where he performed in the courts and chapels of Ferdinand Gonzaga. As court composer and kapellmeister for the Duke of Bavaria, Lasso composed over twelve hundred works including five hundred madrigals in Italian, French, and German. His religious intensity is evident in the finely crafted motets he wrote for the Catholic Church, such as “Domine, labia mea aperis.” | Recorded live on Saturday, February 22, 2020

In 2012, The Choral Project and the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus partnered to present 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘞𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥, a concert featuring music by Stephen Schwartz, three-time Oscar winner, and four-time Grammy award-winning composer and lyricist. "For Good," recorded during the concert, is from Stephen Schwartz's Tony Award-winning musical, 𝘞𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥.

Enchantingly Wicked

For Good

This joyful setting of one of the most used and recited Buddhist mantras, by Brian Tate, derives from the Heart Sūtra. In 1993, at an event memorializing writer Carl Solomon, Allen Ginsberg read a translation of the same text, which he adapted; his translation is "Gone gone totally gone totally gone over the top, wakened mind, so, ah!" "Gate Gate" was recorded at our June 2019 𝘌𝘈𝘙𝘛𝘏𝘚𝘖𝘕𝘎𝘚 :: 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴 concert.

Gate Gate

This fun and layered composition was created by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer David Del Tredici. Written during his decade-long obsession with Lewis Carroll's 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥, "Acrostic Song" is an aria that depicts the final pages in 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦'𝘴 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥. The song uses a seven-verse acrostic poem Carroll wrote about the real-life Alice, Alice Pleasance Liddell.

"The Lamb" is part of William Blake's 1789 collection of poems, 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. Told from a child's point of view, the poem illustrates an innocent yet instinctual appreciation for nature and the healing power of its beauty. This setting of Blake's "The Lamb," by Earl George, is from The Choral Project's first season (1996-1997).

Though you might be most familiar with Simon & Garfunkel's rendition of this wistful song, The Choral Project is partial to our performance of Charlene Archibeque's treble setting of the classic folksong.

The message of this traditional Tamil song, by Stephen Hatfield, is simple: the goodness and light in the world that we seek is within us all.

The Choral Project, a San Jose-based vocal ensemble founded by Artistic Director Daniel Hughes in 1996, has been hailed by San Jose Mercury News as “a Bay Area jewel,” stating that “there is nothing subtle about why this is one of the best choirs you will ever hear.” This group of multi-talented singers has developed an outstanding reputation for performing high-level choral literature and has performed throughout the world to rave reviews and standing ovations.

The Choral Project has received awards in some of the world’s most celebrated choral festivals, including first place (Choir's Choice), second place (Required Pieces), and third place (Folk Music) at the 2007 California International Choral Competition; and second place (Mixed Choir) at the 58th International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales. The ensemble has also performed world premieres of choral works by Brent Heisinger, Brian Holmes, Theodore Lucas, and Stephen Schwartz.

The Choral Project has released eight albums: The Cycle of Life, Of Christmastide, Americana, Water & Light (the group’s #1 best seller on the Clarion label), Winter, One is the All, Tell the World, and most recently Yuletide, a festive collection of holiday favorites. All these recordings can be found on sjcp.org, iTunes and CDBaby.com. For more information, visit www.choralproject.org.
