So interesting! I’m really enjoying this deep dive into the nitty gritty making of the “Chanticleer” ensemble. Thank you all so very much! ❤I have never heard Chanticleer live. I’m going follow you and hope to find a performance near me soon! 🎵🎶♥️
Adam Ward has to be a Merle Haggard fan. We see these guys every Christmas at Carmel Mission Basilica in Carmel-By-The-Sea, California. I had my closest brother pass from cancer at 42. He was a tradesman and part time rancher. When going through his effects I found the We Sing Christmas CD. Chanticleer brings me warm memories of my brother.
I've enjoyed seeing how the "falsettist' contingent of Chanticleer has grown in size and influence over the years allowing them the amazing flexibility to perform any SATB or other arrangement, but I also somewhat miss hearing the richness of the traditional male range. I wonder if their current contingent of ranges (or current culture) would allow them to regualrly, for a number here and there, showcase the traditional TBB range.There is nothing old-fashioned, unpleasant, or sexist about that range. I would be impressed (and delighted) by that kind of flexibility and variation.
I've been a fan of Vineel Mahal since I heard him sing the counter-tenor part in barbershop quartet in The Music Man in high school. He is a special talent and a remarkable man!

I'm so glad!
Such a treat this was....and Cortez is so hilarious and just awesome; love that guy! Thanks for the incredible insight of this fantastic ensemble!
This was really great, something I thought would never be possible. You are on your way to a million view.

This is AWESOME, thanks for what you do!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Does Chanticleer ever have meetups with retired members of the group?

such a talent!
“Choral Mountaintop”..? Def for all male groups. The kids who make up Voces8 have a bit of talent….
