And So It Goes
An imaginative programme that links Canada, the US and the UK. Though one or two of the arrangements verge on the twee, the singing is generally very polished.

About

This recording traverses Canada, America and the British Isles in music that has helped define the culture of those nations. England is represented by two of its most celebrated composers, Holst and Vaughan Williams, and the iconic Scottish Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung to greet each New Year. Celebrated Canadian songs include Jimmy Rankin's Juno Award-winning Fare thee well love. Eric Whitacre's distinctive harmonic clusters can be heard in Go Lovely Rose, and Gordon Lightfoot counts Bob Dylan among his many fans, Dylan once declaring that when he heard a song such as Pussywillows, cat-tails he wished 'it would last forever'.

Awards and reviews

October 2018

4 out of 5 stars

Awards Issue 2018

The choir is sumptuously toned and gloriously balanced in Holst’s ‘I love my love’ and Stephen Paulus’s ‘The Old Church’ but they are at their very best in the Vaughan Williams Shakespeare Songs, with ‘The Cloud-Capp’d Towers' a shining pearl in a string of otherwise rather unevenly polished stones.
