Embark on a musical odyssey with “The Song My Paddle Sings” by Gerda Blok-Wilson, a soaring SATB piece accompanied by piano. Inspired by E. Pauline Johnson’s poem, this composition navigates the uncharted waters of anticipation, challenges, and the brave heart’s call to adventure.
The selection is being featured by composer Gerda Blok-Wilson at Podium 2024 Montreal.
With echoes of the wild spirit of exploration, let the shanty-like melody carry you through harmonies that mirror the courage to forge ahead into the unknown. Premiere live performance by Vancouver Cansing. Recording by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir.
