Ramblin’ – Bel Canto Company

Embark on a journey of discovery and delve into the adventurous spirit of life in Ramblin’! Inspired by Robert W. Service’s poem “The Land Beyond,” this concert explores themes of movement, transformation, and the journeys of both mind and spirit through evocative musical works. Ramble along with us as we explore diverse emotional landscapes through exciting and captivating choral settings by composers such as Bob Chilcott, Shawn Kirchner, Jonathan Quick, Jeffery Douma, and many more.

Selections include:
• Swimming Over London: Set in an evocative jazz style, Bob Chilcott recalls memories of a lovely encounter in that great city. His lush harmonies and rhythmic energy reflect the feeling of gliding over the city's iconic skyline, where each note paints a vivid picture of adventure and wonder.
• The Wellerman: This beloved sea shanty will both entertain and inspire you to join along in this rousing arrangement.
• Moonlight In Vermont: We will serenade you with this classic standard arranged by Darmon Meader. Steeped in a feeling of nostalgia and tranquility, this piece perfectly captures the beauty of a moonlit evening.
• On My Journey arranged by Jeffrey Douma delves into the themes of hope and reflection. More nostalgic and poignant works such as
• Go Rest High on That Mountain, powerfully arranged for choir and resounding with themes of loss and comfort, pays homage to absent friends and family.
