DaCapo Chamber Choir’s “Sing Me Home”
I attended the DaCapo Chamber Choir’s concert “Sing Me Home.”
Here’s the program:
- Timothy Corlis – Silent Dawn
- Katherine Rose – I Heard the Bird Cry
- Christine Donkin – I am Here* (from Following the Moonroad)
- Leonard Enns – How a Place Becomes Holy* (from The Place of Memory)
- Frank Ticheli – There Will Be Rest
- Jake Runestad – Come to the Woods**
- Caroline Shaw – And the Swallow
- Gerda Blok-Wilson – My Heart is Like a Singing Bird
- Stephen Paulus – The Road Home
- Matthew Emery – Lead Us Home
- René Clausen – Tonight Eternity Alone
*Miriam Stewart-Kroeker accompanied the choir on cello on 2 pieces.
**Catherine Robertson accompanied the choir on piano on 1 piece.
Of the pieces I knew, the Clausen was the most sublime. Of the pieces I didn’t know, the Runestad stood out the most.
The choir is directed by Leonard Enns. In the program he says, “More than four walls and a roof, homes are found in people, in nature, or in profound life-changing experience that makes a particular place holy.”
