It’s ALL Canadian and features some of the best award- winning musicians in the country: Anne Lindsay, Tony Quarrington, Stuart Laughton, Stephen Tam, Jordan O'Connor and Kate Carver. Cantores Celestes commissioned five of the pieces without grants of any kind (two by Tony Quarrington, two by Anne Lindsay and one by Clifford Ford). The music will make you happy and be the sound track for your day. The fiddle soars. The double bass grooves as the guitar and piano support the voices of Cantores Celestes. There is trumpet, flute, organ, mandolin and harmonica. There are love songs and odes to the sea. A wildly different tune called Hauntings is based on a scary tale from New Brunswick. This recording promises to be a highLight in your collection. www.cantorescelestes.com  less

Victor Hugo's heart-wrenching 1847 poem describes a walk he plans to take tomorrow Morning ("Demain, dès l'aube") through the countryside to his daughter Léopoldine's grave four years after her tragic death in a boating accident, which also took the life of her husband Charles who had tried to save her. Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Demain, dès l'aube." To purchase the sheet music for this song, please contact: info@leadingnote.com. I would like to acknowledge the a cappella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 26 years.

And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and m...    less
