Chanticleer Christmas

December 2011 A Chanticleer Christmas is American Public Media's one-hour celebration of the season as told through the glorious voices of Chanticleer, the 12-voice San Francisco-based men's choir. The program spans the globe and the centuries — from England in the 1300s to new arrangements of classic contemporary carols. And no Chanticleer program would be complete without Joseph Jenning's patented Christmas spirituals arrangements. Chanticleer's beautiful recording for the season. A collection of the greatest moments of their holiday broadcasts on American Public Media. Listen to this year's program
