KCME HOLIDAY SPECIAL

Echoes of Christmas

For more than 30 years, The Dale Warland Singers provided magical performances to listeners across the country, gaining acclaim as America's premier choir. The ensemble's signature holiday concert—beloved by public radio listeners nationwide—was the annual “Echoes of Christmas” program. Drawing upon the group's archive of live performances, Dale Warland together with host Brian Newhouse (SymphonyCast) create a very special musical treat: a collection of the best and most moving choral classics celebrating Christmas.

KCME HOLIDAY SPECIAL

Music of the Baroque Brass and Choral Holiday Concert

The Christmas story has inspired centuries of beautiful music. In the Medieval era, liturgical texts provided the basis for plainchant and traditional tunes poignant in their simplicity. During the Renaissance, composers marshaled additional musical resources in the quest for musical drama, and took these techniques to even greater extremes in the early baroque. In both the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, brilliant brass choirs served as musical holiday decorations.

Cantus: All is Calm

An uplifting musical drama about the surprising 1914 World War I Christmas truce.

Cantus—one of America's most accomplished male choirs—and Theater Latté Da have created a profoundly moving new work of musical radio theater. Using soldiers' diary entries and beautiful new arrangements of Christmas favorites, “All is Calm” tells both sides of the story as men who had been trying to kill each other in the fields of France spontaneously put down their guns, walked across no-man's land and sang together. “All is Calm” is written by Peter Rothstein with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach.

We thank Clausen Books and Patsy’s Candies for their generous contributions that allow us to air this moving program
