Found this on a friend's feed. A good cover, I thought. youtu.be/n1ugR3LeW5c?...

Heading out for today's walk with a friend with the snow gently falling. Soundtrack: youtu.be/upH1QZU4Z0Y?...

Heard this on CBC yesterday, now I can't get it out of my head: could be worse than having a Ralph Vaughan Williams song as an earworm, I guess! youtu.be/aB8fftSEScQ?...

Musica Intima singing a familiar Lightfoot song: youtu.be/AQK1CpGDPPw?...

This wonderful picture of a pine marten, posted by Phil Stinson to Canadian Landscapes on Facebook...

Listened to this from beginning to end yesterday and it was balm to my soul. Both times I sang this were incredible experiences. youtu.be/XlLR8K7zZQ0?...

Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with joy, success, and unforgettable moments! 💛

Some lovely Gregorian chant that I just happened upon: youtu.be/Ke3quUogoPg?...

Another happy choral memory is singing this with a Montreal choir. A lovely recording by the Nordic Chamber choir: youtu.be/nn5ken3RJBo?...

Hubby and I braved the Toronto pre-Christmas traffic to brunch with my dear aunt. The most important thing always is spending time with those we love!

One of many good memories singing under John Laing's direction, this being one of his compositions. youtu.be/-cGYPHS71dY?...

Anyone else more obsessively than usual listen to music this time of year? This is such a gorgeous setting of the Agnus Del. Almost sang this years ago with one of my Montreal choirs. At least got to practice it for a few weeks... youtu.be/0LYnNEALm6o?...

It explains a lot!

This is a lovely song freshly composed by Aaron Manswell at that time that I sang with this choir. youtu.be/oz9hCNpf3Ok?...

My favourite recording of Spem in Alium. I hope to sing this one day.... youtu.be/iT-ZAAi4UQQ?...
