CHANTICLEER: "Wait" Fantasy

Chanticleer performs "Wait" Fantasy.

An epic choral fantasy inspired by "Wait" from the French band M83, incorporating poetry by Emily Dickinson (I Sing to use the Waiting), and original material composed by Steve Hackman.

"When we got this piece from Steve, our hearts and imaginations were captured by its originality...The repetitions of "No time," impassioned and ethereal, stirred our emotions in rehearsal and touched on formative experiences we all share--urgency, surrender, catharsis, and questions of death, time, and eternity. If time is an illusion (an idea never too far from Dickinson), there is no more that must be done; "no end... no goodbye." -Jace Wittig

Recorded January 30, 2014 at The Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg, Russia
