HALIFAX CAMERATA SINGERS ~SOLACE ~,: SONGS OF REMEMBRANCE

Message from the Artistic Director In November 2004 the-Halifax Camerata Singers presented, for the first time, a concert of memory and remembrance. It was a poignant event. Scheduled between All Soufs' Day and Remembrance Day, it seived in part to honour those who had lost their lives in times of war and conflict. But it also presented the choir and the audience an opportunity to-remember all the special people - mothers and fathers, siblings and children, friends and strangers -who had had an impact on our lives but who were no longer living among us.

Our concert provided a place to remember -and together we honoured our loved ones, lost in all but memory to illness, tragedy, or just the passage of time.

After we had performea our third such concert, in November 2008, I felt it-was time to record some of the wonderful compositions that remind us how the spirit can endure everything, even the end of life. I hope you find in this recording a-place of peace where you, too, can remember.

The reaction of the audience was emotional and touching. All knew the grief that death brings. Most, perhaps, had recovered from the Jeff Joudrey pain. But no one had forgotten the people who ,),;, Artistic Director had passed away. {:S

~--·-:. SOLACE: Songs of Re1nembrance I , Remember me when I am gone away, )' gone far away, into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand ...

The aim of this recording is to take each listener to a place of comfort where, without sadness, it is pos.5ible to honour and remember lives well lived. The sentiment behind SOIACE is captured in the song Remember, a setting of a Christina Rossetti poem by Canadian composer Stephen Chatman. This evocative text, set to wann choral hannonies, encourages the listener not to let remembering bring only pain, nor to let mourning extinguish happiness. When death separatei loved ones, ''lx;teryou should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad''

choral harmonies in a plaintive com~ti -that speak5 of a dark time in life and evoi: a of regret. Life, an unpublisboo work that is the newest composition 00 the recording, of the void left by the OOlth of a loved one. It was written in memory of well-known Canadian organist Allen Wa}1e who died in December 2008. Allen, who~ Director of Music at First Baptist Church Halifax, was only 56 at the time of his ' unexpected d~. Sorrow and love lost are also conveyed by J.ay a Garland, Robert Pearsall's clas.5ic madrigal for double choir. The melancholic

However, it would be unrealistic to record text ebbs and flows among the eight parts in such a CD without acknowledging the tears a haunting expression of abject grief. of loss. Litany and Life, two choral gems . . . by rising Canadian compositional star Other compositions take us mto a more . Jeff Enns, serve that purpose. In Litany, Enns , 1 peaceful ~- Th?se ~o seek stren~ m employs a 16th century text and strong .~ prayer and mvocation will find solace m

Veni, Sancte Spiritus (Mark Sirett) ,Prayer Before Sleep (Sid Robinovitch), The I.ast Invocation (Stephen Smith), and Abide With Me ( Gary Ewer). These four Canadian composers have each arranged a well-e.5tablished text in a musical style that reflects iIB origins. In Veni, Sancte Spiritus, a 17th centuty translation of a Middle English text, Sirett sensitively weaves the prayers of this text together through the oontrnsting sonoritie; of men's and women's voices before bringing them together in a climactic invocation to ''fill the heart with thy light" Sid Robinovitch's strophic arrangement of Prayer Before Sleep asks God to watch over the petitioner and give strength, rest, healing, and illumination for the coming day. The I.ast Invocation, which was composed by Stephen Smith for the Halifax Camernta Singers' 2oo6 remembrance concert, is a sensitive setting of a Walt Whitman poem that speaks of the soul's inevitable journey to eternity. The clasfilc Abide With Me, which is said to have been a favorite of Mahatma Gandhi and King Goorge V, is often sung at Christian funerals. This arrangement for mixed chorus is by Nova Scotia composer Gary Ewer.

Confidence that death is not the end but a new beginning is another common theme. In Even Such is Time, English composer Bob Chilcott sets a 17th century poem by Sir Walter Raleigh to express a meditation on death and the afterlife.Mmaz:Adanai comes from the song cycle "Triumphs of the Spiri~" written by Canadian Srul hving Glick The text, from Exodus 34:6-7, tells of God's unfailing love, which sustains the faithful generation after generation. 1\vo songs in the American spiritual tradition express the same faith. Give Me Jesus is a simple and straightforward arrangement of an old song by American Wendell Whalum, who for 34 years was the legendacy director of the internationally recognized glee club at Atlanta's Morehouse College. In Like a Child, Canadian composer Ru~ert Lang gives the sopranos the solo line of a contemporary hymn by Loretta Ellenberger, while the rest of the choir sings text fragments in a gentle accompaniment. Three pieces address the tragic losses associated with war. Canadian composers Stephen Chatman and Eleanor Daley have

each arrangoo a famous poem from World War I - "In Aanders Fiel~" by lieutenant Colonel John Mcfne (Chatman) and ''For the Falla( I.aurence Binyon (Daley) -a5 a tribute to the lil€Jl and womm killed in action.

In mourning the deaths of the children, not to mention the loss of his famous choir school and its vast music library, choinnaster Rudolf Mauersberger was detennined that music would rise from the ashes. He wrote a motet based on the lamentations ofJeremiah ("How lonely sits the city that was full of people ... ")and conducted its first perlor-mance on Aug. 4, 1945, at the site of the burned-out church. In ~contrast to Mauersberger's h~ is the joy of Lux Aummque, which was

Curtis Dietz, trumpet

There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end they remain.

In Flanders Fields Stephen Chatman, Vancouver (b. 1950) Text: Lt-Col.John McCrae (1872-1918) © 1998 Earthsong.5

fu Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie fu Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. Hye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow fu Flanders fields.

Abide with me· fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, help of the helpless, 0 abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pas.5 away; change and oecay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me.

I need thy presence every pas.5ing hour; what but tliy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

H~ld thou thy cross before my closing eye shine through the gloom and point me to th skies. heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, 0 Lord, abide with me.

But yestemight we laughed to view The stars that sail in seas of blue, Today we wake 'neath _greyer skies, To look on life with diff rent eyes. Alas! How many stars are set For which we're longing, watching yet. O useless hope! 0 eyes that bum! The stars you love will not return.

How the city, once full of people, lies abandoned. All her gates stand open. How the stones of the sanctuary lie destroyed in the streets. He sent fire from on high into my bones.

Is this the city, once the most beautiful of all cities, for which all rejoiced?

She is laid waste, beaten down; there is no one to comfort her. Therefore are our hearts cast down; our eyes are now dark Why dost thou want to forget our city and abandon us forever?

For if the darkness and co1ruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

Out of the depths I cry to thee, Lord, you hear my plea, And like a child that is quieted is my soul. Llke a child I am o so restless. Llke a child I cannot be still And know that you are ruler of us all, And you are there when I call, Just like a child that is quieted is my soul.

And in your presence I can see · Christ in people around me, And like a clilld that is quieted is my soul. Llke a child I long to trust you completely. Llke a child I cannot be still And know that you are ruler of us all, And you are there when I call, Just like a child that is quieted is my soul.

For you, God, only are immortal, the creator and the maker of all, and we are mortal formed of the earth, and to the earth we shall return.

For so did you ordain when you created me, saying ''You are dust, and to dust you shall return." All of us go down to the dust, yet even at the grave we make our song. Alleluia
