Founded in 1987, The 33-strong pride of Vancouver, British Columbia, this much-acclaimed women's classical choir, known for its adventurous programming, seeks out and commissions music written specifically for women. 'From The Heart' brings us 15 pieces from Elektra's touring repertoire. Eight of the selections are from Canada, most of them well-known folk songs, opening with David MacIntyre's electrifying 'Ave Maria,' which has captivated audiences since 1994. Fine works by European, and, in particular, British composers, and the 'Missa Brevis' by American composer Ron Jeffers round out a marvelous recording. All words and translations are there on the very nice liner notes.
