ALL THE KING’S MEN: A CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN EVENSONG
SUN FEB 5| 7:00 pm
St. John’s College Chapel, University of Manitoba
Andrew Balfour’s newest choral work Bizaan (be still, quiet, reflective) reimagines the ancient evening hymn Te lucis ante terminum (Before the ending of the day) from a uniquely Canadian perspective, with text drawn from both Latin and Ojibway. All The King’s Men, Winnipeg’s male-voice liturgical choir, commissioned this work for choir by Canadian composers, including Mel Braun, Lawrence Ritchey, Michael Capon, and Simon Lenassi. Founded in 1997, All The King’s Men is under the director Charles Horton, Desautels Faculty of Music Senior Scholar.
