This past couple of years has presented extreme challenges to all performing musicians, but to singers and choirs more than any others. To maintain quality of sound, as well as ensemble technique and effective interpretation and expression under these vocally inhibiting conditions, requires a special kind of effort and determination, not to mention exceptional musical resources. Clearly the Elora Singers (has) found a way...never faltering from their long-established high standard.
Beautiful, contemporary arrangements of traditional carols, and new works. Composers contributing include Canadian talents Mark Sirett, Jeff Enns, and Gerda Blok-Wilson, as well as international favorites such as Arvo Part and Philip Stopford.
An exquisitely beautiful compilation. It was such an honour to be included!
