At Unbound on Sunday Apr 26, Chronos presents a program of works that highlight new - and Canadian - choral music.
The ensemble is busy rehearsing: here is a clip from Edge of Dawn by Nicholas Ryan Kelly.
Using text from Lola Ridge, the text takes us to the moment dawn starts to break and the natural world slowly comes alive. Themed around resilience, this piece looks to nature's persistence and irrepressible life as inspiration in tough times.
Nicholas was the winner of Chronos' first Composition Competition in 2017, and his work "You Speak Violets" commissioned by the ensemble in 2021 will also be featured on this program.
Join us on Sunday at 7:30 to hear the rest!

Chronos in rehearsal:
Working through another major work on the program for Uplifted: Gregorio Allegri's setting of Psalm 51 "Miserere mei, Deus"
Written in the 17th century in an already ancient style reserved for use in the Sistene Chapel, the work is a beautiful complex polyphonic antiphonal setting featuring a quartet of soloists.
Come enjoy the full irl 'surround sound' experience in person on Saturday, February 7 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton

Chronos in Rehearsal:
Rehearsing for Uplifted, the closing moments of Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei. Another piece on the program that was initially conceived as an instrumental work, Barber wrote this string quartet in 1936.
Performed often and strongly associated with elegiac mourning Barber added the text in 1967, bringing to the surface the work’s inherent sense of spirituality.
Join us for the rest on Saturday Feb 7 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton

Chronos in rehearsal:
Here's a different section of the Missa Brevis by Zolán Kodály. This one really raises the rafters and shakes the floor with the organ work of our collaborator, Jeremy Spurgeon!

Chronos in rehearsal:
Zoltán Kodály's Missa brevis features some very special moments throughout the mass... here is a remarkable passage from the Agnus Dei.Just when you think the sopranos can't go higher... they do!
Knowing that Kodály set these words "dona nobis pacem" - grant us peace - while in hiding in the basement of a convent in Nazi occupied Budapest, gives a deeper meaning to the music, the text, and is a testament to hope and the resilience of the human spirit.
Join us on Saturday Feb 7 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton for this work and more in Uplifted.

. @chronosvocalensemble in rehearsal - Whitacre's Alleluia.
Last night's rehearsal of the Kodaly actually shook the floor. The organ in All Saints is ready to literally rock. You don't want to miss this.

Hope to see you there!

Chronos Vocal Ensemble's "Uplifted" is just around the corner, including Eric Whitacre's "Alleluia" which shares several features with other works on the program: rich harmony, a memorable soprano solo, and an origin in music for instrumental ensemble.
Having assiduously avoided music that could have a liturgical function for most of his early career, Whitacre describes how the experience of singing services at Sydney Sussex College in Cambridge University in 2010 encouraged him to set a simple Alleluia to his earlier work for wind symphony, "October".
To prime your ears, here's the composer conducting this work:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV-6DeSOY7UJoin us on Saturday Feb 7 for music spanning the ages, music chosen to soothe, inspire, and uplift the soul in troubled times, a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to transcend darkness.

I learned yesterday that Dr. Bob de Frece passed away earlier this month.
A pillar of the #yeg community, he founded the Greenwood Singers, and lead the U of A Mixed Chorus and Handbell Ringers for... a long, long time. Back to the 1980s?
He touched many Faculty of Education and Department of Music students at the U of A and beyond for decades.
I remember clinics with him and meeting him in passing. He was an inspiration and mentor to many, and he's sorely missed. Bob was 77.
James Handricksen, board member of the Greenwood Singers, joined @jessica and Min Dhariwal on CBC Edmonton's Radio Active earlier this month: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-52-radio-active/clip/16191632-remembering-robert-de-frece

Hey friends! My choir, @chronosvocalensemble, has its first of three season concerts this upcoming weekend.
We're featuring timeless, intimate music from ancient chant to renaissance polyphony and brand new Canadian works never performed before in the amazing All Saints Cathedral on Sunday at 7pm.
I'd love to see you there and hopefully get you a drink at intermission.
One of the pieces is a madrigal about sex and you'd never know unless I just told you. 😂
