Ex/m- | nteresting and little known prog LP with folk, classical and medieval influences, and some choral sections!
Chorale is a most unusual musical compound - a blend of four singers, two from the world of classical training and two with backgrounds in rock, supported by a superb four piece group. Chorale is the creation of Bob Howes, and also features Steve Davies, Barbara Courtney-King, Lee Gibson, Peter Gosling, Derek Austin and Billy McGillivray, as well as many orchestral players.
"Chorale were an English group and the track 'Riu Riu' was released as a single in 1978. It entered the Dutch Top 40 on December 16, 1978 and reached the no. 28 position. I think the song was performed on some TV shows at the time, but I can't be sure. I am sure, however, that I was completely unaware of this song's religious connotations. A few years later I went to church for the Christmas mass, and heard this song performed by the local choir. I was stunned.
'Riu Riu' is a Spanish composition of the type known as a 'villancico', dating from the sixteenth century. The lyric concerns the shepherds in the biblical Christmas story and observes, among other things, the 'one born today is actually his mother's father and the one who created her is said to be her son.' A good message, now that Christmas is upon us."
