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!

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.

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

Preparations for Uplifted are in their final stages, and it's going to be a great concert!
Here's a sneak peek at Chronos rehearsing Eric Whitacre's Alleluia, one of a trio of works on the program that feature music reworked from an instrumental piece to a sacred vocal work: Alleluia, Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, and Zoltan Kodaly's Missa Brevis.
Join us to hear all three on Saturday, Feb 7 at 7:30 pm in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton!

Chronos Vocal Ensemble's next concert is just around the corner! Join us on the evening of Saturday February 7.
Uplifted draws inspiration from its setting: the magnificent, lofty sanctuary of All Saints Cathedral, perfectly suited for choral singing.
Uplifted draws inspiration from our collaborators: Cathedral organist Jeremy Spurgeon and the Canadian-built 1959 Casavant organ he plays.
Uplifted presents music that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to transcend darkness with music to uplift the soul in troubled times.
The program will include:
Missa Brevis by Kodaly - written and premiered in the dark closing days of WWII Budapest;
Samuel Barber's stunning Agnus Dei - sacred text added by the composer to his well-known Adagio for Strings;
Miserere mei, Deus by Allegri - written in the 17th century for exclusive use in the Sistene Chapel at the Vatican.

MLA Sarah Hoffman has invited Chronos to open the Legislature on Monday!
Chronos will sing a brand new acapella arrangement of O Canada by Edmonton's own Stuart Beatch.
We are honoured to be recognized by the province in this invitation. Here’s a clip of the choir in rehearsal today...
In this final movement of an extended four movement work, Stuart writes that it "begins with an extended image of eagles coasting through the summer sky as friends are gathered down below, sharing food and drink together. Weaving together moments and themes from across the entire work, the piece ends by recognizing the connection we all share—between people, in nature, and across the Earth."
On Sunday April 27 at human heart, Chronos will reprise its performance of "Chosen Family" by Stuart Beatch, Composer.

Teng recalls: "I started singing these lyrics that almost sounded like a hymn or a psalm, 'somebody hears you, somebody knows you.' But I guess because I'm not religious my brain immediately went to marketing databases and surveillance."
Somebody hears you.

Is that wrong?
Isn't this what you want?

Coming up on Chronos' human heart (Sun Apr 27 - 7:30) is Vienna Teng's "Hymn of Acxiom."
A beautiful, unique - and increasingly creepy - work written from the perspective of a database, Teng's experimentation with a harmonizer has created a choral work that will stick with you.
Here's Vienna explaining the origin of the song https://youtu.be/tJyheSPtjoU
