REFLECTIONS 2005

Reflections was launched in celebration of Cantabile's 10th anniversary season.
The disc is a compilation of live recordings from concerts throughout the years, reflecting on the many highlights of Cantabile's first decade:  the exhilarating Gahu with good friend Kathy Armstrong; residencies with gifted composers Bob Chilcott, Paul Halley, and Stephen Hatfield; the beauty of candlelight at Christmas; rewarding partnerships with some of Canada’s leading choirs; a Gold Award at the Prague Festival; Hamabe no uta sung to enthralled Japanese tourists; evensong at majestic York Minster; the haunting overtones of Past Life Melodies; The Fields of Athenry sung at Cobh Ireland; and the honour of premiering many new works commissioned by Cantabile.

The CD includes beloved folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, and Canada’s East Coast, including two songs by Stan Rogers.   Celtic music has always figured prominently in Cantabile’s repertoire; the Youth Singers went on a highly successful tour of Ireland in 2002 where they competed at the Cork International Choral Festival and won the “International Jury Award” for creative programming and artistry.
