About this Event
Inspired by the members of Vivaldi Chamber
Choir, Edette Gagné has curated a spectacular collection of classics, fresh
settings and newly composed choral gems for the final concert of our 2021-22 season.
Andrew Balfour’s Vision Chant sets the tone
for the sacred section of the concert. Haunting and powerfully layered,
Balfour’s composition incorporates the Ojibway word for journey. The
sacred favourites span from the Baroque to the present, with works by Bach,
Handel, Mozart, Bruckner, Fauré and Rutter.
Celebrating the balance of life, the yin and
yang of the universe - the second half of the concert features secular or
earthly music. Sometimes silly, sometimes naughty and frequently about love.
These favourites take us from the Renaissance to today, with madrigals,
folksongs, part songs and inspired compositions.
T. Patrick Carrabré’s madrigal LOVE bookends
this musical journey. With its moving harmonies and dynamic nuances, the
closing song shows just how much can be communicated with a single word… love.

music to affect positive change in our world. We recognize that we rehearse,
perform and record on the traditional, ancestral lands of the Musqueam,
Squamish and Tsleiwatuth people. We acknowledge that the land’s historical
relationships with these peoples has existed since time immemorial. We express
our gratitude to these peoples and value the opportunity to create music on
this land.
