The King Edward Choir and the Cantabile Chorale of Thornhill are joining forces in Barrie this time to present Karl Jenkin's The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace. This stirring, poignant piece celebrates 2500 years of mankind's quest for peace and need to be called to arms. The lyrics are based upon poetry through the ages; from an anonymous Call to Arms penned in 300 B.C. to an Arabic Call to Prayers. It also includes the poetry of Kipling, Dryden and Lord Tennyson. It is a dramatic, energetic presentation for double-choir, three trumpets, string quintet, organ, piccolo and percussion. It has been described as containing "melodies that make shivers run through your body" to "one of the most amazing pieces of music I have ever heard". Don't miss out on this one-of-a kind opportunity to celebrate Remembrance Day in a truly unforgettable way.

Tickets are $20 each. This is not part of the Choir's Concert Series.

The Choir sang one movement from Dobrogosz' Requiem, the Lux Aeterna, in our Spring concert last season - we know that you will want to hear more of this exquisite, ethereal music. To check out samples from this gorgeous work visit the composers website and his mp3 download page. This concert will also feature the music of Elgar, Rutter and Lauridsen.

What an excellent way to celebrate Mother's Day with toe tapping, fun and entertaining songs from around the world. We'll have a little bit of Les Miserables, a couple madrigals and a few spirituals thrown in for good measure. Join us for this delightful, uplifting Spring celebration.
