Under The leadership of founding Artistic Director Joshua Copeland, The ensemble strives to present as diverse a program as possible of The world’s greatest choral literature, both sacred and secular, and has performed works ranging from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary masterpieces with a core group of ten to twelve of The New York metropolitan area’s finest singers.

This short, lively SATB piece is loads of fun and Highlights The quintessential elements of The Acadian folksong tradition: podorythmie (seated foot-tapping), diddlage (mouth music), and The spoons. But, it also stretches The tradition to include more modern elements. Don’t be fooled by thinking this is just a simple folksong. It is a challenging and complex piece that reflects The innate musicality of this long-standing Canadian oral tradition. Though this folksong can be found in oTher parts of French Canada, I chose to feature The Acadian dialect in this rendition because it is emblematic of The role that language sometime plays in creating social inequity. Story synopsis: For those unfamiliar with The language, this video helps tell The song’s funny story of a young woman, Marie Madeleine, who has a raTher difficult relationship w...    less
