This choral triptych was premiered in 2011 by Caritas Chamber Chorale and is comprised of three uniquely contrasting texts dating from 1874, 1736 and 1632, and Caritas Composer-In-Residence Wayne Dietterick has chosen equally contrasting musical interpretations for each text.
British writer and scribe Ralph Crane's "All This Night Shrill Chanticleer" text of 1632 completely turns the tide of the previous "ancient law" idea into a chanticleer ("rooster"), bounding forth with rapidly flapping wings while announcing the joyful, awesome news to "mortals, angels, powers and all that be...", news of the presence of the light of Christ shining in "this dark soul of ours." One can almost hear the rooster crows calling all of earth and heaven to wake to the presence of God incarnate - God in flesh. The triptych closes with ecstatic shouts of Hail! Hail! Hail" to the "Sun of Righteousness."
The Program Notes were written by Caritas Chamber Chorale Director Barbara Sanderman.
