Cannon, perform "And the Wind," a choral setting by Greg Bartholomew of the poem by Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew. For more information visit www.gregbartholomew.com And the Wind There is an awesome beauty found in sailing Through black of night upon the open sea, Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily, She plows into the darkness, And the wind.  

Recording of premiere performance October 2011 by Corpus Christi Chorale, conducted by Dr. Ross C. Bernhardt (composer and artistic director). The work sets a poem by Tom Barrett

This choral group comes from the experience of the first months of 2018, with the project 'Canta amb l'OBC' organized by the L'Auditori of Barcelona, which consisted of a diverse Symphonic program with accompaniment of the Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra. It was a lively and intense musical experience that led a good part of the group to continue singing as a Symphonic choir, which is how they define themselves. Singing, living together and sharing is the motto of this choral group. The general aim is to acquire the necessary musical experience that allows the group to consolidate itself as a stable Chorale and to position itself as one of the leading choirs of the Catalan musical scene. Among the different objectives, apart from promoting the choral music of Catalan composers, it also has the purpose of promoting the social aspects of the project, understanding the musical as a tool ...    less

Video Direction: Andrew Staples Sound Engineering: Sound Mirror I In a garden shady this holy lady With reverent cadence and subtle psalm, Like a black swan as death came on Poured forth her song in perfect calm: And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer, And notes tremendous from her great engine Thundered out on the Roman air. Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited, Moved to delight by the melody, White as an orchid she rode quite naked In an oyster shell on top of the ...    less

In it, Dromgoole tells the story of an old man who approaches a deep and wide water-filled chasm. He crosses in the evening as he is unafraid, then builds a bridge to span the tide. A fellow pilgrim questions why an old man would build the bridge, as he would surely never pass this way again in his lifetime. The old man lifts his grey head and responds to the questioning traveler that a youth is to follow after him. He too, would need to cross in the twilight dim. The old man answers, “I am building this bridge for him.” The commission process was an interesting and fascinating one in which to be involved. Dr. Dickau was originally approached a year or so ago by the Chorale, and was inter...    less
