Katerina Gimon : Apple Tree

This song is about the potential hidden in all of us. We can all save the world if we put our minds to it.

This creative and form-breaking arrangement is by Canadian composer/arranger Katerina Gimon, and was premiered by the Vancouver Youth Choir at the World Music Symposium in Istanbul in 2023.

Andrea Ramsey : At the Spring Dawn

Poet Angelina Weld Grimke was an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Here she describes the dawning of a new day, a text captured by the composer in colorful and descriptive writing. Scored for marimba (optional piano) and treble voices, this is a beautiful example of word painting as the choir sings, it is good to love, it is good to be alive.

Composer: Andrea Ramsey
