Editorial Reviews

Washington Post, October 9, 2005
"[A] charming, beautifully sung collection....Chicago a cappella sings with clarity, well-balanced tone, and deep emotional involvement."

Product Description
The "world class" (Fanfare) nine-voice ensemble Chciago a cappella brings its trademark "wit, imagination, [and] flawless intonation" (Chicago Tribune) to 23 contemporary choral settings of Shakespeare texts -- including ten recorded premieres and three works composed expressly for the group. Making its Cedille Records debut, Chicago a cappella performs artful arrangements that draw from influences ranging from bossa nova and the blues to Renaissance and medieval modes. A fascinating spectrum of styles is heard -- within single works and across the entire program.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this Album!, May 5, 2009
By A. C. Ballard "Aida-Christine" (Ellicott City, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Shakespeare lyrics to madrigal like tunes! This CD is a lot of fun. The songs are energetic and when you recognize the text they are singing, it makes it all the more fun! It's also great for memorizing quotes if your a musical learner.
