Toronto Children's Chorus

Toronto Children's Chorus

Group.

Founded in 1978, the Toronto Children's Chorus is Canada's premier treble choir. Having performed around the world and having won numerous choral competitions, the Chorus's musical education model is copied around the world.

The Toronto Children's Chorus consists of six choirs: five Training Choirs and the Main Choir. Within the Main Choir are the Cantare, Chorale, Chamber, and Choral Scholars. As choristers become more and more accomplished, they graduate to higher levels within the choir structure. The highest level a chorister can achieve is to be a member of the Choral Scholars.

The Chorus is a world class treble choir. The Toronto Children's Chorus has performed on numerous professional classical recordings and has been invited as guest artist in acclaimed concerts around the world.

The Toronto Children's Chorus fills the ever widening gap in music education in Canada. As more and more programs are being cut, the Chorus offers children artistic excellence and character building experiences and leadership opportunities.

Toronto Children's Chorus : A Song For All Seasons : 1 CD : Jean Ashworth Bartle : 

Toronto Children's Chorus : A Song For All Seasons

Review: The TCC has performed an extensive and varied repertoire in prestigious venues throughout North America and Europe, including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and Royal Albert Hall, and is directed by its founder, Jean Ashworth Bartle. 15 songs, lightly accompanied by piano, organ, harp and flute. A couple of our favorites begin the program, J.S. Bach's lovely "Wir eilen mit schwachen" and "Suscepit Israel." Sir Edward Elgar's soaring "The Snow," Sir David Willcocks' "Psalm Trilogy," Claude Debussy's "Salut Printemps" and Stephen Hatfield's a cappella "Queen Jane" are also favorites. The voices of the Choir are unbelievably fine, and the material excellent. Another winner for the TCC!

Songlist: Wir eilen mit schwachen, Suscepit Israel, The Snow, Three Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, Psalm Trilogy, Benedictus, Salut Printemps, City Called Heaven, Stephen Hatfield:, The Birds, Song for Canada

Toronto Children's Chorus : How Sweet The Sound : 1 CD : Jean Ashworth Bartle : 

Toronto Children's Chorus : How Sweet The Sound

Review: Jean Ashworth Bartle founded the TCC in 1978, and has been happily developing it into one of the world's great choral ensembles for children. This accompanied (sometimes by piano, massive church organ and other instruments) collection of 19 songs of Christian faith and joy includes such gems as Johann Haydn's "St. Leopold Mass," Debussy's "Noel des enfants," Johannes Brahms' "Ave Maria," Srul Irving Glicks' 3-part "Psalm Trilogy," Kodaly's "Evening Song" and the final cut, Paul Halley's soaring "Freedom Trilogy." This spirited children's chorus reminds us of angels singing these beautiful, inspirational songs - truly lovely!

Songlist: Dixit Dominus, St. Leopold Mass, Cantique De Jean Racine, Noel Des Enfants, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Psalm Trilogy, Psalm Of Praise, Evening Song, Freedom Trilogy

Toronto Children's Chorus : My Heart Soars : 1 CD : Jean Ashworth Bartle :  : MAR 255

Toronto Children's Chorus : My Heart Soars

Review: "My Heart Soars," the title coming from a poem by Chief Dan George, is a celebration of Canada, from coast to coast. All 19 songs are from Canadian pens, and each speaks of a different time, of laughter, love, triumph and tragedy in Canadian history. The 58-voice Toronto Children's Chorus , directed by Jean Ashworth Bartle, has won awards and established a first-class reputation in its 18-year history. Accompanied by Ruth Henderson on piano, Richard Dorsey on oboe, Virginia Markson on flute, as well as selected members from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Extensive liner notes in English and French, with the words and history of the songs. Fascinating!

Songlist: I'se the B'y, The Blooming Bright Star of Belle Isle, Song for the Mira, Cape Breton Lullaby, Away From The Roll of the Sea, Four Songs of Early Canada, Moments in Time, Keewaydin, The Blue Eye of God, Pie Jesu, My Heart Soars, Cantante Comino
