You get the chance to speak directly to our guest, hear them tell stories and sing songs - you even get your own song sheet to download and sing or play along.

this is so beautiful, my choir is performing this and you guys did it so well 💕💕
Thank you so much @simply_Zo! We wish you all the best singing this wonderful piece by Sarah Quartel with your choir!
Now that is what you call ethereal!
Thank you so much @iamdavidcjones!
My dear friend, who happens to be my childhood piano teacher and mentor, sent me this link. She sent it to listen to after the celebration of life for my father this Easter Saturday. What a wonderful composition reflecting the north. I am a bass singer and love the intracasies of all the voices throughout. I am impressed by the visual music. I am able to not only hear and detect the different phrasing, but also see the music.... And therefore join in... Thank you for your work on the project. And if you're reading this Sarah Chandler, ekosani (Thank you in Cree).
Thank you so much for writing @db4716 and for sharing your thoughts and reflections. We are so humbled and honoured that you listened to our performance following the celebration of life for your father. With our heartfelt condolences, we are lifting you up on the wings of eternal song.
Most welcome, dear friend 🥰 Note: When I asked my "aboriginal dad" Alphonse Peters how to say "you're welcome" in St'at'imcets, he said "We don't say that. If you weren't welcome, we wouldn't have done it for you in the first place". Food for thought.....
Beautiful! Mark and Stephen's work is absolute genius -- and so very beautiful <3 So very glad they completed other work together - their music is an absolute gift to the world.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment, @jonicooper9578! Yes Mark and Stephen wrote many wonderful pieces together. We hope all choirs and ensembles will be curious about their work and plan to perform them more widely in the world. See especially The Wetland Project !
@@singthenorth I listen to the Wetland Project regularly while working :))
Wow, this is so very special, bravo to everyone who participated in this astonishingly beautiful and mesmerizing audio visual choral creation, 5 stars!
Thank you so much @DavidRainChoralComposer! We accept your five stars gratefully and gladly and sprinkle them around our moon!
Uplifting and delightful. Perfect hymns for Pantheists, a state of belief that I have come to embrace. Thanks for the lift from the misery of figuring taxes.
Thank you! Wishing you a balance in the black!
So beautiful! 🌞🌜
Thank you for your beautiful singing @heather9334!
Thank you so much for your hard work!
Loved this choir's song and then their land acknowledgements from all over the world, honouring their indigenous people.
Thank you very much! We are very grateful to be singing from the ancestral lands of so many indigenous peoples in Canada and around the world.
Wow! What a beautiful rendition of Gordon’s song. An amazing assembly of vocal talents from all over. I hope Gordon can hear those voices soaring.👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you so much, Rick! We are definitely sending our singing out to Gordon and hope he can hear us.
Very, very nice! RIP Gordon.
A wonderful sound for my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song. Congratulations to all!
Thanks so much, Mike!
Fantastic, exceptional piece!
Gorgeous work, everyone! See you again soon. (Lori)

Thank you so much Maggie, and thank you for all your superb support throughout the process with OUP. We couldn't have created this recording without you!
Lyrics? Yes! 15th century English: This endris night I saw a sight, a star as bright as day, And ever among, a maiden sung, 'Lully, by by, lullay. This lovely lady sat and sang, and to her child did say, "My son, my brother, father dear, why liest thou thus in hay? "My sweetest bird, 'tis thus required, though thou be king veray, But nevertheless I will not cease to sing 'By by, lullay.'" The child then spake whilst she did sing, and to his mother did say, "Yea, I am known as Heaven-King, in crib though I be laid. "For angels bright down on me light; thou knowest 'tis no nay. And for that sight thou may delight to sing, 'By by, lullay.'" "Now sweet son, since it is so, that all is at thy will, I pray thee grant to me a boon, if it be right and skill, "That child or man, who will or can, be merry on my day, to bliss them bring and I shall sing, 'Lully, by by, lully, by by, lully, by by, lullay' "
Magical!
Thank you Wanderlust!
This is a treasure😊
Thanks so much @lovejoybeach!
Oh how lovely! We sound so good! And the film footage is gorgeous! . ..what did I do to deserve the 'Special Thanks'?
You very kindly donated to the choir during this project - special thanks again Barbara!!

Wow, Kathryn!!!!! 🐾🔥 Absolutely thrilling editing and montage of this gorgeous, stirring piece. Thank you! Congrats to singers, editors, and, of course, Andrew Balfour!
Thank you so much for this lovely message!! We are so lucky to have had the chance to sing this stunning piece.
@@singthenorth ... yes, we were!!! 🙂 It was a privilege. And more wonder ahead! Hugs from Lori
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Linda Dawn! We hope you will come and sing with us!
cool!
I loved how the indigenous chant style of this piece ended with choir members honouring the traditional owners of the land on which they live. Bringing the message of music into everyday life. Congrats to all who took part. Thanks Kathryn for introducing me to this piece and teaching it to us - and for the very powerful video that you and Leslie created. Thanks too to Bryan for adding his magic to make us sound so good. ❤
Thank you Karen! It is so wonderful to have you raising your voice with us on this stellar piece!
It's feels so good to hear us singing this song together!
Fun! River, Joni Mitchell ... epic.
