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
