Our New CD: Elektra's Garden
 Our latest recording, Elektra's Garden, is a collection of secular music from many parts of the world, including Spain, France, England, the United States and Canada.
The
music, much of it recently written, evocatively explores the human
experiences of nature and love. Canadian composers Allan Bevan, Eleanor
Daley, Allison Girvan, Diane Loomer, and Stephen Smith offer works
ranging from new compositions to lyrical texts to exceptional folk song
arrangements. The disc also includes two major suites: the delicate and
deservedly famous Five Hebrew Folk Songs by Eric Whitacre and Stories of the Wind from Spain's Alejandro Yagüe, which was written for Elektra.
Elektra's
Garden represents the final recording under the co-conductorship of
Morna Edmundson and Diane Loomer, C.M. (Ms. Loomer stepped down as
co-conductor at the end of the 2008/2009 season and Ms. Edmundson was
appointed sole Artistic Director of the ensemble.) As such, this CD
(recorded over the past several years), is not only a beautifully
presented collection of works sung by one of Canada's foremost choirs,
but also a fitting tribute to the musical vision and friendship that
has lead them so sensitively for 22 years.
Songs
of love and nature sung with ravishing intensity by one of Canada's
premier choirs and released in time to enjoy during the idyllic days of
summer - order your copy now from CDbaby.com (and soon to appear on iTunes!) or by contacting the choir directly by email.
