Wholenote Discoveries - December 2009
The Canadian Music Centre (www.musiccentre.ca) has another Christmas star with “A Chatman Christmas”, a collection of holiday choral music by UBC professor Stephen Chatman. Chatman's original works and arrangements of classics feature traditional harmonies with a fluid tonality, all astutely performed in this “composer-supervised recording” by the University of British Columbia Singers conducted by Bruce Pullan, with a number of special guests. Make sure to hear Jumalisten joucko, with medieval drummer Quennie Wong. This is a memorable and very idiosyncratic Christmas song. Tiina Kiik
