One of the most forward thinking choral ensembles in the US is the Cascadian Chorale under the direction of Gary Cannon. At a recent performance they premiered Mondnacht by composer Joy DeCoursey-Porter.
This is a beautiful work and hot off the press. Check it out!
Christmas is choir time. A few lines from holiday songs always stick in my mind from Thanksgiving on. “Sweet sining in the choir”, “baby it’s cold outside” and being from Wisconsin, “Faithful friends who are near to us, gather deer to us once more.” Moon Man by Greg Bartholomew will also be a new Wisconsin Christmas favorite with this text “Now the man in the moon sends us cheese before noon because he thinks it’s Christmas Day.”
Here is a frolicking performance by the unparalleled Cascadian Chorale under the direction of Gary Cannon.
