Child With The Starry Crayon is the result of a collaboration between the ORIANA Women’s Choir and the Toronto District School Board. Six composers were commissioned by the choir to set selected student poetry to music for our special Poetry and Music Project.

From the romantic miniature tone poems of Barrios and the exuberant Afro-Caribbean folk rhythms of Casseus to the exotic colours of Domeniconi, we hear a rich legacy of influences that have come to bear on guitar music in the late Twentieth century.
