Deus Ex Machina

Choral Chameleon Chorus

Choral Chameleon Chorus presents a powerful diptych of new music commenting on the state of the world and the human condition. In an effort to bring more secular concert music into the repertoire for choir and organ, composer Dale Trumbore was commissioned (as 2018-2019 Composer-In-Residence) to create her incredible, thought-provoking choral painting: a two-movement work, "What Are We Becoming," comprised of poems by Abigail Welhouse and Lynn Ungar. Then, in a 2019 revision of his epic cantata, "Messiahs: False and True," (originally commissioned by Cantori New York), composer Rex Isenberg takes his listeners on a panoramic tour of messianic figures, both sacred and profane, throughout the ages and their powerful influences on massive numbers of people.

The download includes a digital copy of the libretto and album liner notes as well as a high-resolution copy of the album cover artwork.

Step Into the Night

Choral Chameleon Ensemble

Choral Chameleon Ensemble gives the live premiere and record release of Ed Thompson's "Step Into the Night" - a twelve movement work with jazz saxophone quartet written as a response to the pandemic of 2020.

With Saxophonist, Jeff Walton and The Brad Whiteley Trio.

Composer, Edward Thompson affirms human strength and beckons the listener toward facing fears and conquering challenges in this stunning 12-movement choral soliloquy written as a response to the ever-changing state of the world. Drawing on Renaissance ideals and an inter-genre collaboration between Bachian choral textures and smoky jazz harmonies, the composer himself moves boldly out of his own wheelhouse in this shockingly inspirational work - practicing what he preaches. The encompassing image of a lone saxophone player on an empty street corner in what was once a bustling city reminds us that the true source of our strength as humans comes from within and is always present for us to claim.

During the pandemic year, Choral Chameleon's 40+ Chorus members went into the studio 4 x 4 - a proverbial ark of singers to double down on their commitment to choral singing in a time when everyone thought it was doomed. The result was this album.

Woven is a collection of twelve incredibly moving and diverse choral works about the connection of humanity across ages, continents, cultures, races, and time zones. It programmatically addresses the capacity humans have for pulling each other through even the most difficult times. Paired with beautiful original film from collaborating artist, Jacob McCoy (available separately), this album will be a lasting reminder of how we got through this time together.
