Vancouver Cantata Singers 50
 

 

From our upcoming Vancouver Cantata Singers 50 release:

To celebrate the Vancouver Cantata Singers' 50th Anniversary season, we have produced a recording which represents a picture of VCS past and present. The choir has frequently performed American folk hymns and spirituals. New works by Baltic and South American composers are more representative of recent programming, and the sampling of works by Canadian composers included two new pieces by members(*) of the Cantata Singers.

Kyrie - Bruce Sled *

Prometheus - Kristopher Fulton *

Bogoroditse Devo - Arvo Pärt

Lauliki lapsepõli - Veljo Tormis

Crux fidelis - César Alejandro Carrillo

Also included:

Salish Song - D. Healey

Salve Regina - A. Pärt

Die Stimme des Kindes - J. Mäntyjärvi

O Lord Support Us - H. Johnson

Ain't got time to die - C. Hampton

My Lord, what a mornin' - H. T. Burleigh

Hark I hear the harp's eternal - arr. A. Parker

Long Time Ago - arr. A. Copland

 


 

Here we offer recordings of a couple of our favourites that we have performed recently.
