Cypress Choral Music Vision Chant - Balfour - SSAATTBB
Additional Photos:
Composer: Andrew Balfour
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SSAATTBB a cappella
Vision Chant incorporates the Ojibway word, "babamadizwin", which means "journey".
This is an excerpt from a larger work, Bawajigaywin, commissioned by the Kingston Chamber Choir.
Listen to the convincing rendition by the Canadian Chamber Choir (director Dr. Julia Davids)
Based on an Indigenous chant style, this work is striking for both its stillness and its intensity. The journey that is evoked begins and ends with a soprano melody, at first divided and then, symbolically perhaps, unified. What takes place in between these musical bookends is the vision itself.
