This piece by Stan Gubiotti seems more relevant now than ever. One of the most relevant compositions we’ve had the pleasure of adding to our catalogue. Stan is an immigrant to Canada, so this comes from a place of reflection and honesty. Provocative, thought provoking, somewhat disturbing and with heart – rendering beauty. Listen to the gorgeous recording.

Eric Bibb's "People You Love" is powerful to say the least. This beautiful piece, arranged by Larry Nickel, deals with the subject of death in such a sensitive and meaningful way – this is a tear-jerker, for sure. Enjoy!

Connie Kaldor's "Hills of Salvation" has been given a very strong choral work-up by Canada's own Patrick Murray. This anthem sings itself - with rich and solid harmonies. Enjoy!

Stewart Wilkinson's "Lost Lagoon" is absolutely gorgeous.
E. Pauline Johnson’s affinity with nature is apparent in many of her poems. Stewart has masterfully used text-painting to enhance her colorful poetry.

It is dusk on the Lost Lagoon,
And we two dreaming the dusk away,
Beneath the drift of a twilight grey—
Beneath the drowse of an ending day
And the curve of a golden moon..

Kathryn Parrotta's “INSIDE” is an energetic a ca****la ear-worm for youth choirs. Perfect for themes of community, unity, and inclusion, “INSIDE” has a main message that “inside we’re all the same”. With basic body percussion and prescribed choreography (easy), singers will feel compelled to perform it with authority and conviction. This piece is a cousin to “Do Better”- both songs would be a perfect pairing for a performance.

One of the very few folk songs from Canada’s frozen North. It’s the tale of the captain of a whaling ship who decides to push the late summer season to catch “one more whale”, but finds himself and his crew frozen in for the winter. Diane’s arrangement and this performance by Voicemale Choir, directed byDave Squire capture the mood of sailors who won’t see their home and families for another nine months, if at all. Enjoy!
