The Elmer Iseler Singers in the “Glory of A Cappella”
This Sunday on Choral Concert Peter Togni brings you the Elmer Iseler Singers straight up, as in “a cappella”, or voices alone without accompaniment. You’ve got to respect and admire any choir that can pull off an entire concert unaccompanied, kind of like Cirque de Soleil performing without safety nets.
The Elmer Iseler Singers are one of Canada’s truly great professional choirs and they rise to both the challenge and the occasion. As Peter Togni says, this broadcast is deep, rich, resonant and in many places incredibly moving. You'll hear works by Canadian composers Healey Willan and Eleanor Daley.
You’ll also hear special submissions from the Kings Singers doing Paul McCartney’s "Blackbird", and the Tavener Consort and Players doing the deep and mystical Magnificat in G Minor by Antonio Vivaldi.
