This recording pays tribute to one of Canada’s foremost artists, the late choral conductor Elmer Iseler. As Ken Winters says in his introduction to this CD: “The work Iseler achieved with his three main choirs…will shine on in memory and through their numerous recordings for many generations to come. Indeed, Iseler’s work already represents at the highest level a choral history of music-making in Canada from the 1950s to the turn of the century.”
